Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox][css-align][css-grid] Incompatible spec for align-self computed value when 'auto'

I think the key limitations leading to this were that a) 
absolutely-positioned boxes need auto to compute to itself whereas all
 other boxes take the value from the parent's align-items, making the 
computation depend on `position`, and b) Gecko folks don't like 
cross-property computed value dependencies. Since neither animation 
nor inheritance provide significant use cases here that we need to 
consider, we went with the route that yields less accurate computed 
values in favor of ease-of-implementation.
