In the sentence: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align-3/#baseline-terms > For this purpose, boxes that establish an orthogonal flow are treated as having the same block flow direction as their alignment context, I think the term "orthogonal flow" is not correct, or at least not accurate. As I understand the concept of baseline-sharing group, it's a group of elements in the same row/column whit "equivalent" writing-mode/preference" **between themselves**. In an horizontal grid container, a column with N vertical elements, they will belong to different sharing-groups depending in their block-flow (LR vs RL) direction, and of course their respective baseline precedence. Anyway, the issue is that they are all orthogonal but they don't have the same block-flow direction. Is perhaps that what matters is whether they are orthogonal to their alignment-context ? It's worth mentioning that for the case of grid this is specially confusing, since the term writing-mode hardly applies to a grid-row/column. It d be, perhaps, better to define this sharing-group concept based on the baseline axis instead of the alignment-context ? -- GitHub Notification of comment by javifernandez Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/721#issuecomment-264865732 using your GitHub account
