Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-writing-modes] Question about implementability of the "different writing-mode value than its containing block" section of the spec

Oh, right. Blink is still in the middle of separating style/box tree (AFAIU) and we can do it only after it's done.

I checked [CSS Cascade](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-cascade-4/) but all it says is "parent" or "parent element". Maybe we should follow that, and fix CSS Cascade to describe it better.

Oh, I see. I thought blockification changes inline to inline-block but it looks like I was too biased to writing mode roots.

So:
* Change "containing block" to "parent element".
* File a bug to CSS Cascade to define "parent element", including re-considering the terminology (since element is the same terminology in DOM)

Are these correct actions to solve this?
