Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] `auto` and `span` should be invalid named cell tokens (#7723)

So `grid-area: span` is invalid to avoid ambiguity, and `grid-template: [span] 1px` is invalid for consistency. My question is: shouldn't `grid-template-areas: "auto span"` also be parsed as invalid, for consistency?

Considering this design...

```html
<style>
  #container {
    display: grid;
    grid: "auto span";
  }
</style>
<div id="container">
  <div id="item"></div>
</div>
```

... I can place `#item` in row 1 / column 2 with `grid-area: span-start` but not with `grid-area: span`.
