Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Clarify if space from content distribution properties consititues a "gutter" for decoration purposes. (#12922)

@oSamDavis 

Just to make sure I understand, the idea would be that the "gutter" for gap decoration purposes is not the width defined by the corresponding `*-gap` property, but rather that width plus any additional space introduced by `justify-content`/`align-content`, correct?

That seems reasonable to me, with one comment and one question:

1. The current definition of [crossing gap width](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-gaps-1/#crossing-gap-width) is probably wrong and needs to be updated, as it does not account for that additional space.
2. While drafting up Gaps 1 I had assumed all of the gutters in a given direction (row or column) have the same width. Is it possible to construct a case using `justify-content`/`align-content` where that's not the case? If so, we might need an editing pass to account for it.
