Re: [csswg-drafts] [anchor-position] CSS anchor position gap (#10396)

> I would lean towards adding the gap to the element attached to the anchor, that way we can use gaps the same way we use it with grid and flex layout

If so, is there a reason a margin does not work for this? https://codepen.io/kizu/pen/dyEzjpZ Here the margin is defined only on one side, and when the `position-try-options` flip the element, the margins are also flipped. And for `anchor()` we can already use calculations to adjust its value when necessary.

Thinking about it: having the `anchor-gap` or `anchor-margin` on the element itself could be more useful, as it will achieve something a property on the attached element can't: define a minimum margin between the anchor and anything that wants to be attached to it.
