Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align] "the relevant computed self-alignment property" is unnecessarily vague (it can only be "align-self")

> This "relevant computed self-alignment property" text is now unnecessarily vague/generic -- it can only be "align-self", right? (i.e. that phrase should just be replaced with "its computed align-self", I think)

Nope, which axis is align/justify for the -self properties is determined by the *containing block's* writing mode, which has no relation to your own writing mode. So it can be either one (tho it will often by align-self, yes).

> Actually, this^ isn't quite right either. The spec doesn't quite want to check whether the computed align-self is precisely the value stretch

You're right; we've fixed this to use "behaves as".
