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

> 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. 

In the context of subtitles and captions, this would not work well. The "coarse" positioning should have priority over the "fine" positioning, otherwise text that's overall supposed to be somewhere near the centre could be shifted all the way to the left, which is _less_ like the specified intention than centering it. The block alignment is more important than the text alignment within that block.
