Except these things are more like stackable exclusions, and not that much like existing floats. If the property was renamed 'wrap-stack' (since exclusion props all start with 'wrap-', and this new spec is about how to stack them in x and y directions), then the "clearing" property could be called whatever we want. If it is similar enough to 'clear', then we could call it 'wrap-stack-clear' and try to translate the concepts from 'clear', but we shouldn't be too slavish about it if the concept of what we need isn't really a good fit with the concept of clearing.Received on Tuesday, 26 January 2016 16:00:38 UTC
