Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing][css-align][css-text] Aligning an aligned block of text within its container

>  it also means that the fallback would be the opposite of that of TTML.

My ordering seems like the more desirable fallback.  In the first example in the PDF linked in the OP, where the text is left-aligned but the block as a whole is center-aligned, if you had to only honor one of those I think left-aligning is better than center-aligning.  And I think this applies generally; aligning the block of text will usually not have a *huge* visual effect on things, while individual line alignments can have a dramatic visual effect.

This is largely academic, tho; it just applies to people naively using the block-aligning property without testing for support. We have the @supports rule to let people make more informed styling choices based on actual property support, tho.
