Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Should `rule-break` and `rule-outset` accept two values? (#13097)

@oSamDavis has the original intention correct. And since then, we've found use cases for varying outsets (which are now insets) in other ways: container edges vs interior intersections and decoration starts vs. decoration ends. Those are now occupying the space in the shorthand grammar that would have been taken up by row-and-column values.

`rule-break` does still have room to expand to take row-and-column values. However, given that break and inset are closely related, I think it might be confusing for their two-value shorthands to have such different meanings.
