Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align] Add shorthands for alignment properties

In every situation I can think of where there are X and Y values, it’s
 usually X and then Y.  As an example, `transform: scale(2,0.5)` makes
 the element wide and short, not tall and thin.  `background-position:
 50% 100%` is center bottom, not right center (though the keywords 
aren’t constrained to X,Y order, a fact which makes the value syntax 
for `background-position` a minor nightmare).

It’s possible the order could be defined to be writing-mode dependent,
 but the idea makes me uncomfortable in a way I find hard to 
articulate.
