[css-layout-api] Naming of LayoutFragment#inlineSize, blockSize.

[bfgeek]

From @travisleithead (Travis - I'm picking off some larger things we can discuss in a group from your feedback...)

LayoutFragment's inlineSize and blockSize might be renamed to reflect (as noted in the spec) that they are relative to the border-box, e.g., inlineBorderBoxSize and blockBorderBoxSize…

[travisleithead]

Very kind of you... my plan is to distill all that initial feedback down into only a few issues to file on this repo.

I want to re-emphasis how well done this spec is so far... definitely ranks among the more interesting specs I've read in a long while. It also opens up super-cool new scenarios as well.

For what it's worth, I disagreed with @travisleithead on this one, because:

• it seems too verbose
• it's actually not just the sizes but also the positions that are for the border-box

That said, I'm not strongly opposed on the basis of verbosity, but I probably would want consistency for the positions.

Thanks @travisleithead , we are meeting today so was just pulling out some things we can discuss as a group. Most of your feedback I can go through and fix/answer inline.

The Working Group just discussed Naming, and agreed to the following resolutions:

• RESOLVED: No change on https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts/issues/748

The full IRC log of that discussion

<dael> Topic: Naming
<dael> github: https://github.com//issues/748
<dael> iank_: One feedback from trevors at TAG found it not saying border-box confusing.
<dael> dbaron: Yeah.
<dael> dbaron: As someone that works on layout code I'm used to knowing you have to work with border-box and you don't type it. Travis was looking at it further away from layout and he found it confusing.
<dael> dbaron: I lean toward disagreeing, but if we change it should be sizes and positions
<dael> iank_: Agree.
<dael> iank_: Unless webdev are really confused I'd lead toward us being shorter here.
<dael> Rossen: If anyone goes to extent of understanding what layout fragment is I have a hard tim ebelieving that person would struggle.
<dael> plinss: It's just knowing the difference of border and content box. Then what about box sizes and what do you do. Looks like it's more clarity.
<dael> Rossen: Someone going through learning phases.
<dael> Rossen: Objections to no change?
<dael> RESOLVED: No change on https://github.com//issues/748

Closing as resolved for no change at the moment. Going to reach out to more webdevs as they are starting to play around with this to see if we need to change anything.
