[css-align] should 'place-items' accept 'legacy' values?

[dbaron]

The Value line for the place-items shorthand says that it takes an auto value for the justify-items part of the shorthand. However, justify-items doesn't take such a value; I believe this was intended to be the value that has been renamed to legacy.

(Is it intended that values like legacy left aren't supported in the shorthand?)

Ok, I dropped the auto keyword from the value line. Whether we should allow the various legacy values/combos is an open question. I'd lean towards no, but don't have a strong opinion.

The CSS Working Group just discussed should 'place-items' accept 'legacy' values?, and agreed to the following resolutions:

• RESOLVED: leave behavior as-is and not accept legacy values for place-items

<tantek> you can post up to 4 photos/diagrams per tweet fantasai :)
<dael> github: https://github.com//issues/1449
<dael> fantasai: I don't have an opinion, it's question of show we have the shorthand for various legacy items of justify:items. It takes legacy as a keyword alone or in combo of other values. Do we want iit in the shorthand.
<dael> TabAtkins: I'm on the side of no. There's no real reason for authers to specify that for themselves.
<dael> Rossen_: The legacy one should be left for legacy.
<dael> dbaron: One of the tradeoffs is that it becomes harder to serialize to the shorthand. You end up with cases where you can't serialize the shorthand
<dael> TabAtkins: I'm not sure. But only if you have the place item shorthand on a center element, I think. So...ehh.
<dael> Rossen_: dbaron would you object if we didn't?
<fantasai> Don't we already have othe rcases where there are values that aren't possible to express in the shorthand?
<dael> dbaron: I'm okay, I jsut wanted to bring that up
<dael> Rossen_: I heard fantasai and dbaron being okay with...fanwas fine with either, dbaron would be okay if we stayed with current version. 2 others voted stay with current. Other opinions?
<fantasai> what's current?
<dael> Rossen_: Objections to leaving behavior as-is and not accept legacy values for place-items
<dael> RESOLVED: leave behavior as-is and not accept legacy values for place-items
