[csswg-drafts] [css-tables-3] Caption block size %ge resolution (#4676)

atotic has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-tables-3] Caption block size %ge resolution ==
What size does caption %ge block size resolves against?

FF: resolution size is always indefinite.
Chrome, Safari: table does specifies height, resolve against that. Else resolve against initial containing block size.
Edge, IE: resolution size is initial containing block size.

Suggestion: resolution size is always indefinite (%ge size is not resolved).

Justification:
- caption's parent is table wrapper, whose block size is indefinite, it depends on table grid size. Parent's size is %ge resolution size for most of CSS, this makes caption consistent with the rest of the tags.
- current implementations vary widely, and using caption %ge height today would significantly degrade how table looks in Edge. Because of this, I hope this change is web compatible.
