Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing] Decide how to handle `min-width/min-height: auto` for non-grid/flex items

This seems fine, yeah. I see you're right about flex items not being `block boxes`, since CSS2.1 defines `block boxes` as being a subcategory of `block-level boxes`, which are defined as boxes that ["participate in a block formatting context"](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#block-boxes).

One minor issue that still remains, with the "block and inline boxes" special callout -- technically, the new spec text doesn't define what to do with `min-width:auto` on *table parts* that honor `min-width`, for example. (e.g. `td`, `col`, and `caption` all seem to honor `min-width`: https://jsfiddle.net/fnkdoeng/)  

Those table parts aren't block boxes, nor are they inline boxes, so the spec doesn't currently define what the default `min-width:auto` keyword does there.  Maybe this is something that can be defined in the [css-tables-3 spec](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-tables-3) though?
