Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-contain-3] Nesting Context (side effect / enhancement) (#7209)

I'm not sure what you mean by 
> potential for indirection across a stylesheet

What I'm talking about is allowing to omit parts of a syntax in the _[Container Query](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Container_Queries)_ implementation that is already being rolled out (not a new feature).

As shown in the demo you can use CQ's to detect if a selector is a child of a container. But if used for that purpose (side effect) alone the syntax feels a bit hackish.

My suggestion is that – if you omit the parts _shown below as comments_ - the type and query would be implicit. I know inline-size is not the correct type it was just what I found to be working     
 ````CSS
.container {
   container-name: MyContainer;
   /* container-type: inline-size; */
} 

@container MyContainer /* (inline-size) */ {
   .child { color: orange }
}
 ````

 _I'm sorry for being bad at explaining myself – please bare with me 🙏🏻🤗_
