Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display] Glossary *-level definitions

OK, I stand corrected. I still think that repeating the terms you are defining inside the definition seem a circularity. But now I see the definition is about "inline-level content", and it references "inline-level box". So not exactly the same, but still a problem if the definition of "inline-level box" is "box that is inline-level content".

What about this:

> ***inline-level** content*: box or contiguous run of text that participates in inline layout. 
> ***block-level** content*: box that participates in block layout.

Or

> ***inline-level***: content that participates in inline layout. Note: can either be a box or text.
> ***block-level***: content that participates in block layout. Note: necessarily must be a box.

Possibly linking [inline formatting context](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#inline-formatting-context) and [block formatting context](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#block-formatting-context).
