Occasionally, our is more convenient or common to specify a box by an aspect ratio and a single linear or planar length value: - One might want to match the **area** of a different shape, e. g. from SVG. - TV and other screen sizes are often referenced by **diameter** or **diagonal** and (implied default) aspect ratio. It could therefore make sense to define either `size` or `box-size` in a different way: ```` bnf box-size: … | <'box-width'> by <'box-height'> <'aspect-ratio'> | <'width'> <'height'> at <'aspect-ratio'> | <'box-diameter'> at <'aspect-ratio'> | <length> @ <'aspect-ratio'> ```` or similar. That implies that a single length would be treated differently from the same length twice: - `10px 10px` has equal edges of `10px`. - `10px 4/3` has edges of `8px` and `6px`. - `10px` has equal edges of ca. `7.07px`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4428#issuecomment-573764761 using your GitHub account
