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

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-gaps-1] Naming bi-directional gap decoration shorthand`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: rename gap-rule to 'rule'`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: this came up in TAG review for gap decos<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: there's a gap-rule shorthand that sets width/style/color for both directions<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: named it gap-rule for a few reasons<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: first, nervous about taking rule-* for future<br>
&lt;lea> q+<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: also avoiding confusion between the "rule" properties and CSS rules<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: just wanted some opinions<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> lea: this is what we do for gap - row-gap/column-gap, and gap<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> lea: so suggested doing the same and getting just 'rule'<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> lea: but you raise valid points<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: i'm usually very concerned about consistency, but not concerned in this case. i do like the guarding considerations.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> TabAtkins: same<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> TabAtkins: so proposed resolution is stick with gap-rule?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: feels like it should be a longhand of 'gap' then, so i'm leanign the other way<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> kbabbitt: could it be? could get ambiguous, a length could be the gap size or the rule size<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> grule<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: the confusion between decorative and syntactic rules is unlikely to anywhere besides these meetings, so it's fine<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: and context is different enough anyway, not very confusing<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: oh so i'm not suggesting `gap` be a shorthand that includes gap-rule, i suggest just doing 'rule'<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: so proposed resolution, rename gap-rule to 'rule'<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: rename gap-rule to 'rule'<br>
