Re: [css3-align] The Great Alignment Bikeshed

I like that proposal too, but I dislike the fact it hides that 
"justify-items" is an alias to "::layout-child { justify-outside }".

Wouldn't it be better if we had "item-justify-outside" or 
"child-justify-outside"?

This is my choice as well. Grouping these related properties together with
justify and align coming first makes the most sense to me. I vastly prefer
items, as that conveys to me a group of discrete things to distribute. And
I have a slight preference for inside/outside over self/content. I do not
think 'box' should be used - it's too overloaded as a term. So I think
this should be the easiest set to explain to someone new to the concepts.

Thanks,

Alan
