Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox][css-align] Need clarification on `auto` margins for abspos flex children (do they collapse or expand)

I was very confused by this topic, because the margins aren't 
"collapsing" in the sense of the technical term "collapsing margins".
  ^_^

Anyway, margins are indeed part of "laying out", but if browsers are 
interoperable with something else, and they do the same with other 
layout modes, then, uh, sure, might as well define that `margin:auto` 
resolves to `0` in abspos contexts while figuring out the static 
position.  This should probably go in the Position draft, as it looks 
to be a generic property of finding the static position, rather than 
something specific to finding the static position within a given type 
of parent.
