If it doesn't go through, what then? Do we see a return to people using special flags and having code to see if you are on an edge server or not? I sure as hell hope not. It would be groundhog day.

Was just wondering that myself.. why they went with "rule" in `column-rule` and now `row-rule`
> From Middle English reule, rewle, rule, borrowed from Old French riule, reule, from Latin regula (“straight stick, bar, ruler, pattern”), from regō (“to keep straight, direct, govern, rule”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European h₃réǵeti (“to straighten; right”), from the root h₃reǵ-; see regent. Doublet of rail, regal, regula and rigol. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/rule#English

Design by committee is not the best but if you need one more view to be convinced, as a non native English speakers the property names proposed are not communicating the meaning very well. Eg Defining the gap but drawing the separator.

.container:gap { background-color: red; }
Possible with a :gap-horz and :gap-vert (or whatever css like to name it) to get seperate vertical and horizontal gaps.
Also: .container:gap:nth-gap(2n) { color: blue; } to get alternating colors.
I wish they took the use-case of resizable panels into account. Even if the implementation is fully user-land, a styleable separator that can also receive events would be so useful.
It's absolutely crazy that the only way to get a native splitter in HTML is to use iframes.

Thanks that's helpful to know they picked a valid term, but if I'd hold a no-context poll (unless I mention ruler) a significant number of people wouldn't know this.
While true, an even more significant number of folks into typography and design absolutely would (and arguably even should) know this.

what is "native splitter" why do I even want it?
