Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align] Should last-baseline's fallback alignment be safe or unsafe?

The Working Group just discussed `Should last-baseline's fallback alignment be safe or unsafe?`, and agreed to the following resolutions:

* `RESOLVED: In this case with content that will not fit in it's container and we fail to be able to last baseline align things things will overflow in a safe direction.`

&lt;dael> Topic: Should last-baseline's fallback alignment be safe or unsafe?<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1611<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: You have a flexbox and inside you have items with last-baseline alignment but the flexbox is less then you need we have to decide how to align them. Just like for first baseline you align and then start align at the top.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: but what if it's too small to contain all the items. In that case, what happens? Do we continue to align at the bottom and overflow the top or do we take the things that are too big and put them at the bottom and they no longer participate in base alignment.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: From I can access and read safe is better, but from design unsafe is better.<br>
&lt;dael> myles: impl difference.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: We were generally unsure before.<br>
&lt;dael> myles: have we asked authors?<br>
&lt;dael> florian: Can we default to safe? Default ing to safe sounds...safer? And let authors opt-in.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: We don't let you set it. It seemed like more switches then you needed access to.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: We could make it possible to combine the keywords.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: I'd prefer default safe and have the keyword.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: We last left this that someone would write a blog post.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: That was not done.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I don't think we should assume we will add a switch. we should decide based on probablility that this is a weird edge case so it's not worth our time to have a switch.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: That's why we haven't done it.<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen: Can we resolve on choosing safe? If someone squeaks really hard we'll solve it.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Objections to using the safe behavior in this case of last-basline alignment?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: All using the alignment properties.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: In this case with content that will not fit in it's container and we faill to be able to last baseline align things things will overflow in a safe direction.<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: In this case with content that will not fit in it's container and we fail to be able to last baseline align things things will overflow in a safe direction.<br>
