Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-box] increase pointer target size independently of element layout (#4708)

In the CSS WG discussion (https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4708#issuecomment-833113541) @fantasai said:

I'd like to point out that [Lighthouse](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse) has an [audit](https://web.dev/tap-targets/) that fails tap targets that are smaller than 48 by 48 in CSS pixels, they recommend using `padding` as one way to ensure [accessible tap targets](https://web.dev/accessible-tap-targets/). Additionally WCAG 2.1 [Success Criterion 2.5.5 Target Size](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#target-size) requires targets to be at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels (with some exceptions). So I think this is a pretty common concern for developers with accessibility in mind.
