MatsPalmgren has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-align][css-grid] synthesized baselines are insufficiently specified == I'm trying to understand what bullet 3 here means: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid/#grid-baselines What does "failing that" mean there? I read it as, "if there are no grid items", but I don't know if you mean synthesizing a baseline from a grid item can fail in some way. Furthermore... https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align-3/#synthesize-baselines "To synthesize baselines from a rectangle (or two parallel lines), synthesize the alphabetic baseline from the lower line and the central baseline by averaging the positions of the upper and lower lines." I don't understand what precise code I should write to implement this paragraph. Does "averaging the positions" mean I should take the distance between the two lines and divide it by 2 to get the alignment baseline to use? IOW, the synthesized baseline of a content box is the center of the content box in the relevant axis?
