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

> I checked CSS Cascade but all it says is "parent" or "parent element".

"parent element" is a perfectly well-defined thing.  It's just not the right one for the writing-mode case, not least because of display:contents.

> since element is the same terminology in DOM

YES!  "parent element" in CSS Cascade terms is the same exact concept as "parent element" in the DOM.

> and say "the parent it inherits from"

Gives the wrong behavior for display:contents, at least.

Please stop flailing and sort out what the behavior should actually be instead of just guessing and checking....
