[csswg-drafts] [css-display] Is the principal box unique?

Loirooriol has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-display] Is the principal box unique? ==
CSS Display says that, if it exists, the [principal box](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#principal-box) is unique:

> When an element generates one or more boxes, one of them is the principal box

However, what about an element with `display: inline` which is split by a block-level descendant? Then the element generates more than one inline box, so only one of them should be the principal according to the quote above, but this is not obvious.

I think all of them should be principal boxes, so the principal box is not unique and mentions of "the principal box" should say "a principal box" or "the principal boxes".
