Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] if using `display` we should provide examples for `inline grid-lanes`, and include the `inline-grid-lanes` legacy fallback (#10961)

A note: I think (please, let me know if I am mistaken) some of the above posts conflate user & author.

For the _user_ there is no difference if it is `inline grid-lanes`, `inline-grid-lanes` or both. It works the same.

For the _author_, yes, there is a difference, and I see arguments in favor of both ways to resolve this. However, I think the suggestion that “authors will be angry” with the multi-keyword syntax is as theoretical as any kind of theoretical purity the multi-keyword syntax favors.

I don't consider there to be a violation of “user > author > impl > theory” because we only speculate about the authors’ position. Unless we consider the invited experts’ positions to be closer to it. I am no longer one (although, tbh, nothing really changed after I became a regular member), but @SebastianZ is one.

If we care about what authors actually say — we need to query and listen to them. If we think this is such a small issue that we don't want to waste time on this — then we can't put words into their mouths and speculate.
