@fvsch @markboulton @khoi I think anyone working with #CSS should spend a day observing @csswg to gain insight into what interop takes.
@fvsch HA! You'll note I don't hang around there much either. ;)
@fvsch We're still hashing these issues out in great detail, and I can promise you that we're working hard to address voiced concerns.
@fvsch Keep in mind layout is the Holy Grail of CSS (for now). It's gonna take a little magic and time to get us all there, I think.
@fvsch We can do nothing to prevent mistakes, and they can be extraordinarily beneficial. The actuality is we ARE reinventing the wheel.
@fvsch No, I really do appreciate the interaction. I'd rather you are frustrated and speak up than frustrated with no form of discourse.
@mollydotcom my main issue is the proposal is rewriting history. We've been designing grids a long time using established terminology.

@markboulton I'm still thinking about grids. I think the fundamental difference is we have to think "lines" versus "boxes" (to oversimplify)
