[webkit-dev] Request for position on the aspect-ratio CSS property

[Jen Simmons]

I’ve talked to some folks here, poked around, and we believe it’s probably fine for `aspect-ratio` to override `-webkit-aspect` ratio. 

It looks like Chromium removed `-webkit-aspect`  in 2014 because the "property is parsed and stored on RenderStyle, but it's not used anywhere, i.e. it has no effect.” https://codereview.chromium.org/647723002 <https://codereview.chromium.org/647723002>

I don’t see any Author-facing feature here. There's nothing about it on CSS Tricks, nothing on MDN. My demo does nothing. Looks like aspectRatioNumerator and aspectRatioDenominator appear to be unused.
