Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Values after an auto repeater when there's fewer values than gaps (#12527)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-gaps-1] Values after an auto repeater when there's fewer values than gaps`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Apply all decorations from left to right`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;kbabbitt> oSamDavis: in an earlier issue 11492 we resolved that we would prioritize non-repeating gaps over repeating gaps<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... non-auto over auto<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... if the number of gaps was less than number of decorations<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... we'd start with leading, then trailing, then auto<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... we didn't resolve on the part where the number of gaps after is less than the number of decorations<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... currently according to spec we use the traiing decorations right to left<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... I found that to be confusing as to why we would apply trailing decorations from right to left rather than left to right<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... as we do in the leading section<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... this issue is looking for a resolution in this case where there are fewer gaps than decorations in the trailing section<br>
&lt;miriam> +1<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> (I have no objection to changing this.)<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> astearns: chair hat off, this sounds like a fine change<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> astearns: other opinions<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> javierct: I think this makes sense too<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... more intuitive I think, initially hadn't even realized we defined this until it came up<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> alisonmaher: agree, I think if an author wants all these but doesn't have enough gaps to do it<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... it would be confusing<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... going chronologically makes more sense<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> astearns: Proposed: Apply all decorations from left to right<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> ... objections?<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> RESOLVE: Apply all decorations from left to right<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> RESOLVED: Apply all decorations from left to right<br>
