Thanks for the quick response, @tabatkins! Do I understand correctly that the decision to start with block is because all existing 4-direction CSS properties start with top/block? That’s the way I make sense of “*we made the logical props do the same thing*”, because I understood the new logical order was _not_ the same, but flipped counter-clockwise, e.g. t/r/b/l. I really think the CSSWG should reconsider this ordering, due to pre-existent consensus around inline-first clockwise ordering; e.g. left, top, right, bottom. Search the web for this l/t/r/b ordering in other technologies; Android Layout and Windows Blend are examples. Similarly, review mathematical examples of x1,y1,x2,y2. Then, compare those to the same results for the adoption of the currently proposed t/l/b/r or y1,x1,y2,x2. The later is nearly non-existent. Again, I recognize that the current “non-logical” directions start with block, but.. would you have any other concerns with Cartesian ordering? -- GitHub Notification of comment by jonathantneal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1500#issuecomment-306273216 using your GitHub account
