Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid][css-flexbox][css-multicol] Styling Gaps/Gutters (#2748)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Styling gap`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fremy> Topic: Styling gap<br>
&lt;astearns> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2748<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: this seems to be a feature that people really want to have<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: and we don't really offer any affordance for that<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: one open issue, is what happens in a grid when an item spans accross a gap<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: should the gap break over this item or not<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: but I am concerned that having this kind of stylistic feature should best be done in a real f2f because we need to whiteboard<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: any other opinion?<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew: more than rows and columns<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew: I have had many requests for borders around grid areas<br>
&lt;fremy> iank_: also, we get into issues similar to tables<br>
&lt;fremy> iank_: what happens at intersections, when the borders are not the same<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: I think we should not mix those two things up<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: styling gaps sounds easier<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: styling areas is more complex, and might need more work<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: could be done later<br>
&lt;fremy> jensimmons: I agree with astearns here<br>
&lt;fremy> jensimmons: and it's a feature that makes a lot of sense to do from a design point of view<br>
&lt;fremy> jensimmons: and getting half of what authors want is still great progress<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew: the issue about spanning also applies to multi-columns as well<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew: because we can also span things in multi-columns<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew: so authors will want to "exclude" areas from the lines<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew: so it's not clear to me that ignoring areas entirely is fully possible/desirable<br>
&lt;fremy> florian: if you have an area going through, don't you always want to break the rule?<br>
&lt;fremy> iank_: not always, the thing in the area can have a transparency background effect<br>
&lt;fremy> miriam: what does happen in multicol now?<br>
&lt;fremy> rachelandrew/florian: it's interrupted<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: based on all these comments, I think it would indeed be nice to have a whiteboard<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: so I propose to move back to the github issue as a proxy-whiteboard<br>
&lt;fremy> astearns: any other comment?<br>
