Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Gap Intersection Points -> Segment Endpoints (#13366)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-gaps-1] Gap Intersection Points -> Segment Endpoints`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;javierct> https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14qulsvgygbbA8DxpJrAvh9DXY4BDPcdlmMTzraa_Qts/edit?usp=sharing<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: in Gaps 1, we wanted a way to control decorations beyond just a single line across tracks<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: we have a "gap intersection point" that we use for drawing the decorations<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: they exist in the center of intersections, or the outside edge of gap ends<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: intersection is very grid-related, doesn't exist in flex<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: [shows an example of Flexbox, how "intersection" isn't quite right for lines+items<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: at TPAC a few people changed the model to instead be about segment endpoints<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: mostliy the same, just some mental model changes. endpoints are created as the edges of gaps<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> oSamDavis: proposal is to move the language of gap intersections to be more about segment endpoints<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: sounds editorial, so we can leave that to the editors<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: this is just a change in how we talk about them, right? behavior changes would be discussed separately?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> javierct: no behavior change by default. it changes how we define other properties in some ways<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: yeah, changing how you talk about things is fine. if you're changing author-facing beahvior that's something to discuss separately<br>
