> Unfortunately, it's rather complicated to do - it ends up being a subset of the Regions functionality, which the WG ended up abandoning due to implementor objection. (@tabatkins, from #546) Is that objection still relevant though? 1. Since then Opera, the implementor represented by the objector, abandoned its engine Presto and switched to Blink. 2. The objection text stated that the ability to flow content of elements into other arbitrary elements would likely be abused to create markup and presentations which don't follow the principle of separation of concerns. Defendants of regions countered that although indeed at that time the targets available for redirecting flows were mostly elements, multiple other possibilities were being designed (and even more envisioned), and those would be in the realm of styling (e.g. the very grid areas discussed here), not tightly coupled to markup. They were right, after a few years of CSS evolution we have many of those now, and new kinds steadily accumulate. -- GitHub Notification of comment by ByteEater-pl Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1183#issuecomment-792053621 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
