> Correct.
So in this scenario you want “brad-modified-closest-side” to mean “third-farthest-side-of-the-four-choices”?
I’m baffled that you think that’s a good idea. And I completely disagree with moving in that direction.
Yes, there are degenerate cases for positioning and closest/farthest. We shouldn't be weakening or removing features because there are edge cases that are non-valuable. If you take that to its logical conclusion we should remove the 'width' property from CSS.
