[css-tables][css21] Rename table box to table grid box #2501

Closed

Description

@fantasai

@FremyCompany has complained in the past about the confusion of having “table box” and “table wrapper box” where it's not clear which box the “table box” is unless you're contrasting it with the “table wrapper box”. At some point the suggestion of “table grid box” came up, so opening this issue to suggest renaming it across our specs.

    The Working Group just discussed end.

    The full IRC log of that discussion <dael> Topic: end
    <fantasai> The block in a block-in-inline split is actually a sibling of the anonymous block boxes on either side, not of the inline box fragments.
    <fantasai> And in the column case, the spanner is siblings with the column boxes
    <JohnDoe> Deffering "word-break: break-word" was a mistake
