> "Parent box" is the parent in the box tree, as usual Where is this concept defined? I think the use of "as usual" here is a bit odd, given again that I don't think this stuff is defined anywhere. > This is fine; this clause doesn't apply to out-of-flows, it only applies to in-flow display: inline boxes. Why? What prevents CSS from adding a feature that makes something out-of-flow without blockifying? If the intent is that this is only applied to in-flow inlines, that needs to be pretty explicitly stated. > There's no need for the display value to change here Ah, I see. "flow" could mean "acts like a block on the inside" or it could mean "acts like an inline on the inside". That's ... pretty odd for a inner display value behavior. :( I would have expected that things that act like inlines on the inside and things that act like blocks on the inside would have different display-inside values.... Anyway, this is getting a bit off-topic. I filed https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1246 on the other issue I see with this stuff that is even more off-topic for this discussion... I would like to reiterate that I would like computed values to be defined without reference to the box tree. -- GitHub Notification of comment by bzbarsky Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1212#issuecomment-295055793 using your GitHub account
