Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-4] Add vhc value (#4329)

@frehner Thank you very much. I really appreciate this excellent advice.

As it turns out, last weekend I started drafting an article, attempting to draw together what I have come to understand - which is still evolving - into something that is hopefully more coherent and easy to follow than the disparate posts I have made in this thread. It currently has sections on:

- background and technical details;
- what the problems are that need addressing with examples (and animated(!) illustrations - which I think is important for understanding what is happening here and not talking at cross-purposes);
- this proposal;
- my proposed way forward; and
- implications for the CSS specification and browsers.

One of my colleagues has provided feedback on an initial draft already. Pulling it together like that has been a good experience for me so far. Your suggestion to cover how the new proposal may affect websites - for better or for worse, is a good one, and this is something I think I could expand more on in my current draft. So, I plan to get that finalised and posted for people to read and comment/provide feedback on if they so wish. I can't be definite about timescales because I'm fitting this in around family and work commitments as I'm sure everyone is, but maybe sometime next week. Then I'll follow your advice and attempt to distil that down into the something far more succinct that follows the proposal template you have used here and file a new issue.

Sidenote: I honestly wasn't sure whether your tweets were directed at me, provoked in part by me, or unrelated, but I didn't want to just ignore them and take the risk that I'd inadvertently contributed. I'm glad that doesn't appear to have been the case, and I hope that you've been able to take the step back that you mentioned and hope that it has helped.
