Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] fr unit and other length units

> The CSS Grid Layout spec actually doesn't define the fr unit as a 
length unit of any kind.

Yup. We refer to it colloquially as a "length", because it serves a 
similar purpose, but it's very specifically not a subtype of 
`<length>` in the spec.  Using it in 'width' would be invalid due to 
grammar reasons.

> Maybe we should raise a "meta-issue": do all CSS dimensions and 
values defined anywhere (even in one module only) need to be reflected
 in css-values?

Our general rule is that anything which is widely applicable across 
specs belongs in the V&U spec.  Specialized dimensions don't need to 
live there, but all `<length>`s are CSS-wide, and should have their 
definitions in V&U.
