Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing] intrinsic-size lost the thread 🙁 (#4531)

Posting this for the aid of the telcon discussion.

I did a quick rundown of all the properties in CSS, finding those that take a pair of size values and whether they're physical or logical:

## physical ##
* aspect-ratio
* background-*
* box-shadow
* device-aspect-ratio
* fill-*
* stroke-*
* mask-*
* object-position
* overflow
* overscroll-behavior
* perspective-origin
* transform-*

## logical ##
* gap
* grid-*
* place-*
* scroll-snap-*

So the pattern is fairly clear: things @fantasai and I have worked on in the past few years are logical, everything else (both legacy, and newer things worked on by people other than us) are physical.

I'm sad about the overall inconsistency, but I don't think this is easily resolveable. We have to bite this bullet one way or the other, and I guess I'm fine with deferring to the larger numbers and history behind "default to physical". We'll just have a couple of specs that are inconsistent.
