Tab's response reads to me that Tab and fantasai are fine > with this. The problem is that it does depend on the final syntax somewhat. For the way I'd like it, start and end would be the values to use for one dimensional floats. But if 'start' ends up being short for 'start start' instead of 'start none', that that wouldn't work too well. It would change the meaning of 'float: start'. If we could agree that 'start' is short for 'start' in the inline direction and 'none' in the block direction, then I think 'start' and 'end' are the best choice. > > Can we conclude on this point first? > > /koji
