[csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Shorthand for rule-break and rule-outset (#12541)

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

== [css-gaps-1] Shorthand for rule-break and rule-outset ==
@JoshTumath suggested creating a shorthand for `rule-break` and `rule-outset` since there's a coupling between them. Currently, there's no intersection in the value space between them, so we could just jam them together like so:

```css
rule-break: intersection;
rule-outset: 0px;
/* shorthands to: */
rule-bikeshedme: intersection 0px;
```

In typing that out, I realized there's not an obvious name for such a shorthand. `rule` is already taken as the shorthand for width, style, and color.

There's also a couple of discussions, such as https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12024, calling for more flexibility in defining outsets, which might be a further consideration in designing such a shorthand.
