 	This specification introduces new keywords and masonry-specific behavior
 	for the ''repeat()'' notation.

-repeat(auto-areas)</h4>
-
-	The new <dfn value for="repeat()">auto-areas</dfn> value for the ''repeat()'' notation
-	represents the number of repetitions necessary
-	for the total number of explicit tracks to match
-	the 'grid-template-areas' value
-	in effect in the corresponding axis.
-	If multiple tracks are listed for the repetition,
-	the final repetition is truncated as necessary
-	to produce the correct number of tracks.
-
-	Note: Unlike ''repeat()/auto-fit''--
-	which always repeats at least once and always repeats the track listing entirely--
-	the number of repetitions for ''repeat()/auto-areas'' can be zero
-	(if there are already enough explicit tracks),
-	and the final repetition can be partial.
-
-	If 'grid-template-areas' is ''grid-template-areas/none'',
-	this value behaves as ''auto-fit''.
-
-	Note: This value applies both to regular [=grid containers=] and to [=masonry containers=].
-
-	ISSUE(10854): It's unclear if we actually need this value.
-	Note that the explicit grid already takes values from 'grid-auto-columns'/'grid-auto-rows'
-	as needed to match the number of template areas.
