[csswg-drafts] [css-align][css-flexbox] align or flexbox spec should provide details of how "column-gap" & "row-gap" influence flex layout

dholbert has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-align][css-flexbox] align or flexbox spec should provide details of how "column-gap" & "row-gap" influence flex layout ==
The CSS-Align spec now defines `column-gap` and `row-gap` CSS properties, with custom behavior for multicol, flex, and grid layout: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align/#gaps

It only has 1-2 sentences for each of these (with a rough overview of how the gaps work) -- and for multicol and grid, it references the respective layout specs themselves for more details.  However, for flexbox, there is no information beyond this rough overview.

More details should be provided (either in align or in flexbox specs) about when precisely in the layout algorithm space is set aside for these column gaps, and how they interact/overlay with other spacing like margins & packing space.
