Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline] Allow background of an inline area to extend to before-and after-edges of the line area

The Working Group just discussed `Allow background of an inline area to extend to before-and after-edges of the line area`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: Allow background of an inline area to extend to before-and after-edges of the line area<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1974<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: In this onethere is a PDF of what they'd like. There can be vertical gaps between lines that don't get a background color in CSS. They'd like to spec that hte background should be extended to be contiguous even if there's a gap like this.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I don't like the magical background<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Should say it's the box.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Is this related to linebox size calc proposal?<br>
&lt;dael> dbaron: Prob not. One questions is what to do if box is bigger then the line gap.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: semi-transparent you don't want transparency to pile up.<br>
&lt;leaverou> what about background-clip: line-box? :)<br>
&lt;dael> tantek: For borders you can do the cheap and ugly overlapping borders or the likely wanted borders around the whole thing.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: My summary was insuficeient. It's also extending background on both sides to half the gap.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: Consistent with increasing height of inline block.<br>
&lt;dael> dbaron: What if there's a tall image on one line?<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I asked about what if a float is in the way and they didn't care.<br>
&lt;dael> smfr: Feels a little like how when webkit does selection and tries to eliminate selection gaps?<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: In float example I suspect that...it wouldn't be contiguous...first line is a little bigger but not touching. That's solved by inlines being the height of the line property.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: How to accomplish this.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: inline height: auto and fill<br>
&lt;dael> florian: inline property with legacy and filled.<br>
&lt;dael> leaverou: line box as psuedo element?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Wouldn't solve the problem.<br>
&lt;dael> leaverou: Wouldn't line height address it?<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Inline box sizing wrap the content reasonably tight such that line height can produce gaps.<br>
&lt;dael> leaverou: If there's a linebox psuedo element wouldn't they be able to set padding?<br>
&lt;dael> florian: pseudo element controls too many things.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Can we pause this and switch to next issue? It's similar in the opposite axis.<br>
