Graphic Design Grids (GDG) are about creating a unified layout with a rigid horizontal and vertical rhythm. The CSS Grid Layout (CSSG), on the other hand, are more about creating a flexible 2d layout. You can make CSSG do the same thing as GDG (I think using grid-column-sizing and grid-row-sizing and then using either grid-template or grid-*-span) but it's not necessarily obvious.
This is a request for the ability to define an arbitrary unit of measure with gutters called a module and be able to use it as part of CSSG. I like this and have experimented with as part of sass/stylus grid systems.
Most of the rest is a complaint about terminology and I get slightly confused from there. IMO the `grid-x-count` property serves no purpose. Simply using `width` with and md unit value or an appropriate grid sizing definition would serve the same purpose. I'm also not sure how columns and fields interact. I think it's the same as `grid-columns` and `grid-rows` from the CSSG proposal and this is an extended part of his complaint that the CSSG terminology doesn't match up with GDG terminology.
