Okay, more naming thoughts. The reason @fantasai and I went with flow/flow-root is that Block Layout and Inline Layout are pretty intimately intermingled, far more than any other layout modes are. They're only semi-independent, and can be thought of as two fairly distinct modes of a single layout mode: Flow Layout.
Under this idea, then, the 3-way split I propose above is more or less "how much do your children mingle with the surroundings?". So here's some non-serious naming suggestions that'll at least let us start usefully talking: {`inline`, `block`}x{`flow-loose`, `flow-tight`, `flow-root`}.
This gives us back `inline`/`block` as display-outside values, like I wanted, and groups all the "flow" layout types together explicitly again, just with informative names. Then `auto` computes to `flow-loose` if it's paired with `inline`, and to `flow-tight` if it's paired with `block`.
