No, we absolutely want to keep scroll-snap-margin as the name of the property. The problem is that you're calling the rectangle formed by its edges as the "scroll snap margin", and that's a misleading term. We named that concept the "scroll snap area", because it includes the border-box area, not just the area defined by the values of the scroll-snap-margin. In other words, if the border box of an element is +------------+ | | | | +------------+ and it has a scroll-snap-margin of 1 unit, then the term “scroll snap margin” to me implies the area outside the border-box bu inside the scroll-snap-margin--defined edges: ################ #+------------+# #| |# #| |# #+------------+# ################ Rather than the entire area of the rectangle so defined: ################ #+------------+# #|############|# #|############|# #+------------+# ################ Does that make sense? The area that is being snapped is that entire rectangle, not just the thickness of the scroll-snap-margin itself. ~fantasai
