Not including padding will seriously hinder this. You want that UX for people to be able to use it widely and just work. The post talks about wanting one compatible standard, but leaving out how to deal with padding means you know have incompatible ways of doing so. Plus many junior devs won’t even understand the need of padding, and will be extra confused when it doesn’t “just work.”
I do appreciate the many other bits it tries to solve, however.
