Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3][css-display-4] Naming for grid lanes reading-flow values (#14290)

> I'm also wondering if we could re-used keywords from grid-lanes-direction? So, if we're going down columns, we say reading-flow: column, and in the case we have a column layout but want to read across it, we say reading-flow: row?

I would be somewhat hesitant to use row and column here since there are only ever columns _or_ rows in grid lanes layout, but _not both_ (like in classic grid).

I also like the idea of having the names mean the same thing even when you flip the direction of the container (so one keyword is always the grid axis direction, and the other always means the axis we are placing items in).
