> I do think the two value syntax is better both for author understanding and for forward flexibility. I agree with [@SebastianZ](https://github.com/SebastianZ) that our decision here was unnecessary and harmful for moving that direction, and with [@Loirooriol](https://github.com/Loirooriol) that it's strange to favor the legacy spelling of a new mode that doesn't need that spelling. Is there any way we can take the compromise further, and favor the more modern spelling of new displays? What if we add something like: > [!Note] > In general, the CSSWG intends to support new display modes with the two value syntax only, > as it is more flexible than the legacy precomposed display values. > `inine-grid-lanes` was added as an exceptional case due to the prevalence of `inline-grid`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kbabbitt Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10961#issuecomment-3916561135 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
