[csswg-drafts] Idea for CSS4: 'box-depth' (#3984)

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

== Idea for CSS4: 'box-depth' ==
I have an idea for CSS4, which would make it much easier to create 3D images, such as cubes. 
By adding a depth property, a developer can easily create a box any size or shape he would so desire, rather than going through the arduous task of creating long transforms. 
Example: to make a cube of 100px, the code would simply be
#my-cube {
box-width: 100px;
box-height: 100px;
box-depth: 100px;
}
And it wouldn't have to just be a cube, but any box shape. The width and height and depth could all be different. 
And also, if the developer made a screen-size 3D box, what if he were able to put text, or images, or even whole pages within that box at varying z-axis levels. So items within a 3d box div could have different z-indexes, and the z-indexes wouldn't just be used for stacking, but would have actual depth value to them. Rather than just saying, z-index: -1; he could say z-index: -50px; or z-index: -10%; etc.
