Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Screen Fold API (#575)

I recall seeing other proposals from Microsoft that included further parameters like the gap between screens, has this work coordinated with that work?

I share Lea's concerns about multiple folds and multiple fold directions. I'd also like to see this work in the general case, and not be so specific to today's current folding devices. Furthermore, this should also be able to represent multiple monitors in the desktop case. For example, I have a main monitor and two side monitors at 30deg angles, why wouldn't that setup be represented in the same API as a folding laptop? (OS support for getting that data notwithstanding, the browser can always add it's own UI for screen configuration info)

As to the "not more than 2-3 folds" argument, I present: https://gizmodo.com/its-no-surprise-this-absolutely-obscene-7-screen-laptop-1846222859

My other question is why is this a separate ScreenFold interface, rather than additional properties of the existing Screen API?
