Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align][css-grid] Baseline self-alignment may affect the intrinsic size contribution of the alignment subject.

Hmm, this is the same problem as #1365, with an overflowing vertical text using baseline-alignment.  In both cases, the overflowing item gets its height from the container, and the baseline alignment increases the size of the container, making it continue to overflow -- we end up just reproducing the original bad situation, but bigger!

So, I think it's clear that "baseline alignment alters intrinsic size" is too simplistic.  There's something more targetted that needs to be done, to allow elements to baseline align, but without allowing the overflowing element to resize itself and continue to overflow.  We're not quite sure what this thing is, tho.  Let's try to whiteboard it in Paris and see if we can figure this out.
