An idea that's been floating in my head (to point 2 of [my comment in #11243](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11243#issuecomment-2611224248)) is to have a property that both selects between, and parameterizes, flexbox/grid/masonry/etc. Something like:
```
item-auto-placement:
no-wrap /* non-wrapping flexbox */
| flex-wrap [reverse]
| grid-wrap [reverse]
| shortest [favor-start | favor-end] /* masonry, with favor-* describing how to break ties */
```
The grammar's a bit more verbose, but the branching leaves room to avoid the problems of specifying combinations that don't make sense.
That particular example also leads to `item-flow: shortest column` in the shorthand for a classic masonry layout, which I find really expressive.
