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

My initial thoughts:

Foldable devices have only just started emerging, yet this proposal is very much built around their current constraints (one fold, along a central axis), which makes me skeptical about how well it will stand the test of time. What if in the future we have devices that can fold in multiple places and axes? What if we can even have arbitrary folds? What if they can bend but not necessarily fold? I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable in hardware technology to know if this might ever be possible, but thought I'd flag it for those who are.

A few more thoughts regarding syntax:

- I think an `angle` media query is way too generic. Is it fold angle, screen tilt angle, or something else? I'd suggest going for `fold-angle`.
- If my understanding is correct, `screen-fold-posture` can be addressed via a combination of `min-fold-angle` and `max-fold-angle`. If so, perhaps it would be best for the higher level ranges to be added later, once we can observe what ranges authors actually use for these things?
- Does the environment variable need `screen-*`? What other fold could it be targeting if it were just `fold-angle`? (not a rhetorical question)
