Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display] Should <display-legacy> values be aliased at parse time? (#5575)

> Of course, that's the same kind of thing that would happen if we added a new display type, but it seems a bit unfortunate to enforce everyone to deal with a new name for an old thing :)

Yeah, as fantasai and others discussed during the call, focusing on "this will break old code that doesn't expect it" is gonna be true for every new feature we ever introduce, and is particularly true for this precise code when we add new display types (such as the half-dozen math-related display types we also decided to add during this call). I'm not sure why we're so pressed about this in particular - it's not changing any existing code, it's just new code written using the new syntax that will cause libraries like this to break (just like they would with `display:math`).
