Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-borders-4]: `border-shape` order of shapes in the two-shape variant (#13308)

Just zooming out a bit: I'm still not sure how this inside vs outside conversation is even relevant? Won't there, in most cases, be a smaller path that will be _required_ to go on the side of a larger path or am I just over simplifying this?

For example these 2 paths:

```
inset(0)
inset(12px)
```
What would it even mean to try and tell the browser to put the smaller `inset(12px)` path on the outside of the larger `inset(0)` path? This is not physically possible.

There can be some situations with multiple value `inset()`s where the 2 paths will overlap one another. But in that case inside and outside isn't really even in the picture is it?
