Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-exclusions] Status of the exclusions spec (#3308)

Here's a use case: fitting text around non-rectangular maps and diagrams without wasted whitespace. I can't imagine how you'd do the one with multi-column text without exclusions. The other one would probably be best with a combination of exclusions and regions, since the text blocks don't follow a neat rectangular pattern. These are print layouts of course, so the graphics are positioned carefully for page size. But I can imagine working with something similar in a flexible layout, switching to something simpler at narrow layouts.

The maps only include half a mile or a mile on either side of the canal, so they are very long and stretched out, cutting across the pages. The descriptive text wraps around the shape of the map.](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9876129/48950822-62386100-ef34-11e8-8089-e92bcbfcfb53.jpg)
