Re: [csswg-drafts] Proposing new CSS primitives to enable great web experiences on foldable & dual-screen devices (#4736)

> Out of curiosity, in a device like the Galaxy Fold or the Motorola Razr, and according to the definition provided in the explainer about ‘spanning’, would it resolve to none? If that’s the case, it might be better to specify the ‘single-fold-vertical’ or ‘single-fold-horizontal’ and appropriate env fold variables to potentially accommodate the content on the web page?

Something to add to this is that in single screen devices like the Galaxy Z Flip or what Intel showed as the Horseshoe bend concept when the device is partially folded and the fold may or may not be usable (touch not working reliably, image distorted or in a tent mode therefore the fold provides no value).

<img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/5P2mtqxdhYKTmn2EaUcFRpwL9wY=/0x0:2040x1360/1200x800/filters:focal(857x517:1183x843)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/66037667/DSC00612.0.jpg" style="max-width:100%"/>

So indeed the single-fold-vertical/horizontal properties could be defined even if there is no physical seam because the platform could or should define one arbitrarily.

I second this as per above.
