MatsPalmgren has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-sizing] Incorrect use of the word "compute" in definition of intrinsic keyword values == The [min-content](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#valdef-width-min-content) and max-content values are defined as "otherwise compute to the property’s initial value". I read that as "otherwise (in the block-axis) the computed value of this property is the property’s initial value". This is not what UAs actually implement and would be problematic to implement since it would introduce a dependency on the `writing-mode` property. For example: ```html <div style="height: min-content"> <div style="height: inherit"></div> </div> ``` The spec suggest that the inner element should inherit the value `auto`. This seems wrong to me, it should inherit the value `min-content` (and this is what UAs currently implements). I suggest you reword it as "otherwise the _used value_ is the property’s initial value".
