Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-break-3] rules for direction to use when slicing inline borders for box-decoration-break:slice are unclear (#4989)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `which direction to use when slicing inline borders/backgrounds`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> Topic: which direction to use when slicing inline borders/backgrounds<br>
&lt;astearns> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4989<br>
&lt;fremy> dbaron said the rules for box-decor-break slice are not clear<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: but the spec is not clear on which direction you should use for the splicing<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: either the inline element itself<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: or the parent block<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: and I would suggest to use the inline<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: for example if you used a rainbow gradient it should splice in the direction of the element<br>
&lt;Rossen_> q?<br>
&lt;fremy> florian: I am curious about what the alternative would do<br>
&lt;fremy> florian: but I agree that what you described sounds like the right solution<br>
&lt;florian> s/curious/confused/<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: ok sounds reasonable<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: any objection to resolve this?<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: (repeats r12a question on irc)<br>
&lt;fremy> r12a: if you add unicode ?conference? you can move to the next line, not unicode<br>
&lt;fremy> r12a: and in this case it would not to that in terms of what the text actually does<br>
&lt;fremy> r12a: but in terms of rendering maybe it does<br>
&lt;fremy> florian: for the border, you want the side that is the side on the end of the line to be open<br>
&lt;fremy> florian: but that doesn't match what we just discussed with the background<br>
&lt;fremy> r12a: yes, we should probably look at a few examples<br>
&lt;fremy> r12a: I can provide examples if the group wants<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: that sounds great<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: (the examples)<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: fantasai does that change your mind?<br>
&lt;r12a> https://r12a.github.io/scripts/tutorial/part5#latin-in-rtl<br>
&lt;fremy> fantasai: yes, let's take another look after we considred all the examples<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: ok, if the examples don't break everything (no pun intended) we will resolve what we decided<br>
&lt;fremy> Rossen_: but otherwise we will rediscuss<br>
