RE: [css3-grid-layout] negative spans

I see I didn't define the type correctly but I intended positive integers only (for grid-row/column properties in addition to span length).  I need to think through what it means for implicit track creation when the author says grid-column:-100, but I can probably make sense of it.  I read it as count 100 tracks back from the end and position this item (so ensure that 99 tracks exist after this one). 

Negative spans can make sense as well.  I think your scenario is to pin something to the end of the grid with something like grid-column: 1; grid-column-span: -1;  Is that right?

It's not specified whether negative spans are allowed. I suggest be valid:
it allows the author to position something from the last cell that's spanned rather than the first. However zero spans should certainly be invalid.
