Re: [csswg-drafts] Please define how the various box tree fixups interact

> Then I'm not sure what you're referring to

I _think_ the relevant situation is this:

    <span style="display: grid"><span style="display: ruby-text-container"><div></div></span></span>

What ends up happening with the display of the `<div>`?

Let's posit that.

> I think all the fixups in each category are either compatible or mutually exclusive

I think we're talking past each other.  I'm explicitly talking through what has to happen when someone adds a new fixup.  How do they make sure it's mutually exclusive or compatible with all existing ones?

But even past that, it's not clear to me that what you said is true, because nothing defines _when_ these fixups take place.  In my example above with grid and ruby-text-container, does the fixup, if any, for the `<div>` take place before or after fixup, if any, for the inner `<span>`?  Where is this ordering defined?  Are all fixups applied to a given element before any fixups are applied to its descendants, or is each fixup performed as a separate pass over the tree?

Seriously, this stuff needs to actually be defined.  What we have now is a non-interoperable mess that's not possible to implement interoperably based on what the specs actually say.  :(
