Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing] Intrinsic size of replaced elements incorrect

I really don't want <code>min-content</code> and 
<code>max-content</code> to be anything other than *intrinsic* sizes.
  And, in particular, I want them never to depend on the element's own
 specified sizes, precisely so that they can be used as keywords for 
the element's specified sizes.

Doing so could cause problems down the road if we ever add the ability
 for calc() expressions to reference concepts like "this element's 
<code>min-content</code> size in the other dimension" or "the 
grandparent element's size".  (The latter is harder than the former, 
but we might be able to come up with a set of ways where it does make 
sense or a way of resolving the constraints, and having things like 
"intrinsic" sizes that are almost but not quite always intrinsic would
 make that harder.)
