Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] Renaming `masonry` keyword (#9733)

As a second idea, may I suggest `newspaper`? Column-based filled layouts are familiar to many people from newspapers or magazines, and web design that uses row:off, waterfall, etc layout often mimics design used for physical newspapers or magazines.

An example of the [New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper#/media/File:NYTimes-Page1-11-11-1918.jpg) (note column spanning, as in the Safari masonry layout). I am not expert on non-Latin languages, but I found this interesting [article](http://www.fontpad.co.uk/thai-press-typography/) on Thai press typography with an image demonstrating [similar layout in a Thai magazine](http://www.fontpad.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Wallpaper.jpg) on the right hand side. I would _tentatively_ say, and I note my lack of knowledge, that the concept of this layout coming from press media is likely fairly worldwide.
