Tab will presumably answer for CSS, but elsewhere, XSL-FO uses before/after
with the display-align property. This property (and some of its values,
including before/after) was also adopted by TTML as the displayAlign
property.

In addition, XSL-FO uses before/after in the names of certain properties
with the same sense:

   - border-{before,after}-*
   - padding-{before-after}
   - space-{before,after}

XSL-FO also uses before/after in this sense in certain element names:

   - region-{before,after}

I would also note the following usage of before/after in a different sense:

   - break-{before,after}
   - cue-{before,after} # from CSS2
   - page-break-{before,after} # from CSS2
   - pause-{before,after} # from CSS2
