Hi Tab,

Not sure why you're reviving this two-years-old message, but if the purpose is to resolve pending issues, you can consider this one closed. The spec evolved a bit during those two years and my comment doesn't apply anymore, I think. 

I can imagine use cases where you may want to snap to a grid line that you don't use to position items, but those use cases don’t seem to be possible to solve using css grids anyway. This is probably too edgy, and in most cases snapping to elements might work fine.

Thanks for the answer anyway.
Francois
