Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-scroll-anchoring-1] Can anchor node be an inline-block? (#4247)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Can an anchor node be an inline block`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: An anchor node only can be every box except a non-atomic inline box`
* `RESOLVED: An anchor node can be any box except non-atomic inline boxes`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;myles> Topic: Can an anchor node be an inline block<br>
&lt;astearns> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4247<br>
&lt;myles> emilio: A bit of the issues we've found with the spec, the spec uses terms, and the terms don't map to the implementation that wrote teh spec. The spec says "the anchor is either a block box or text" but what blink does is "well any thing that is non an inline or an anonymous block can be an anchor"<br>
&lt;myles> emilio: that is not great. I think we've reached agreement with Steve about better terms for the spec. The spec needs some love.<br>
&lt;myles> emilio: I'm happy to help out to refine the spec.<br>
&lt;myles> emilio: Proposal: Changing the definition of anchor node to be every box but inline boxes and fragmentainers, which are the only things that fragment across &lt;missed><br>
&lt;myles> emilio: This is what Blink does.<br>
&lt;myles> astearns: Any concerns?<br>
&lt;myles> iank_: There's some discussion on the github issue?<br>
&lt;myles> oriol: Instead of explicitly specifing the inlines, can we use atomic inline from the display specification? We can use terms from that spec for future additions to the spec?<br>
&lt;myles> emilio: So right now, the definition is accurate. That term from the other spec sounds better.<br>
&lt;myles> emilio: Proposal: An anchor node can be every box except a non-atomic inline box<br>
&lt;myles> RESOLVED: An anchor node only can be every box except a non-atomic inline box<br>
&lt;myles> RESOLVED: An anchor node can be any box except non-atomic inline boxes<br>
