[csswg-drafts] [css-contain-1] do we need layout containment in a single dimension to enable container queries

== [css-contain-1] do we need layout containment in a single dimension
 to enable container queries ==
One thing that came up at the [extensible Web 
summit](https://ti.to/bocoup/extensible-web-summit) in Boston on 
Friday was a discussion of container queries.

While I'd [previously 
suggested](https://github.com/ResponsiveImagesCG/container-queries/issues/3#issuecomment-185951645)
 tying container queries to CSS containment, one thing I realized is 
that there will be cases where developers want to fix the width from 
the outside but still allow an auto height, and then do media queries 
on the container's width.

I haven't thought this through very much, but it seems to me that this
 may require a concept of layout containment in a single dimension to 
be exposed from containment.
