The Working Group just discussed `Rules for align/justify-self on static position of absolutely-positioned boxes need more detail`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: Rules for align/justify-self on static position of absolutely-positioned boxes need more detail<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> s/forgetting at parse time/forgetting at parse time then eagerly collapsing/<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1432<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: We discussed this last week or the week before.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: 2 weeks<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Issue was defining impact of various align. I think discussion had some confusion about I don't want sizing to depend on alignment.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: To clarify we have the sizing of an abspos item depends on direction prop os static pos containing block.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Suggesting to look at justify-content property instead on that containing block so author can control behavior without effecting bidi. no change in element looked at, just what element.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: One case not covered is there's a center value in justify-content and we had to define a value for center.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: To revisit the behavior if you have a static pos you use as the contaiing block size you use the start edge of the static pos containing block and end of abspos containing block.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: That depends on direction<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: TabAtkins and I decided that since we can get the behavior for both then for centering both should key off the static containing block.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: that's  asummary<br>
&lt;fantasai> s/block/block for both sides/<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I see Rossen was involved 2 weeks ago, but he's not on this week.<br>
&lt;dael> frremy: I don't have the right context to talk. We should prob wait for Rossen to be back<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: fantasai and TabAtkins was Rossen adding useful things or moderating?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: dbaron and Rossen had definite opinions.  He was participating.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: You okay waiting until he's back<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Sure.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: We'll postpone again.<br>
