[csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Naming bi-directional gap decoration shorthand (#11495)

kbabbitt has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-gaps-1] Naming bi-directional gap decoration shorthand ==
Gaps 1 defines [the `gap-rule` property](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-gaps-1/#gap-rule-bi-directional) as a shorthand which sets widths, styles, and colors in both the row and column directions.

In the [TAG review thread](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1035) for CSS Gap Decorations, @LeaVerou asked: 

> Why gap-rule and not just rule which would be consistent with the row-gap/column-gap/gap shorthand?

To which I responded:

> I was a little concerned about overloading a general term like "rule" in case we at some point discover some other place we want to paint rules, and to avoid confusion between a CSS rule and the CSS rule property.

I wanted to open a discussion to get more opinions from the WG about this. What do folks think?
