In the previous draft[1] (the one I used for the Blink implementation)
there was this text:

"On grid containers, a value of normal computes to zero."

which was apparently removed from the last one. Also the Value: for
grid-row|column-gap was

Value:  normal | <length>

instead of just <length>. So perhaps the "Initial: normal" is obsolete
and should be replaced by "Initial: see individual properties" or the
like as you mention.
