Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display-4] Add inner and outer display properties (#4729)

I don't understand this objection. Since the current spec already supports a two-value  syntax, then can't people can already specify that combination? Unless it's illegal, in which case what difference would having separate properties for `display-inside` and `display-outside` make?

Furthermore, given the whole web development industry, both standards-based (web components) and framework-based (React, Angular, Vue, etc.) has spent that last decade pursuing component-oriented development, why is a single problematic combination being allowed to prevent the delivery of a basic mechanism of layout encapsulation, the lack of which is a huge pain point?

I'd really like to give people the benefit of the doubt here, but the dropping of `display-inside` and `display-outside` seems to point to a total disconnect between the reality of contemporary web development and what's happening in this part of the standards process.
