Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing-4] Should aspect-ratio affect the intrinsic size? (#5032)

I agree that the definition of “intrinsic sizes” in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#intrinsic-sizes is rather confusing, because we've got a bit of circular logic:

- First it says “ min-content size and max-content size are collectively referred to as the intrinsic sizes”
- Then it gives instructions for how to calculate max-content size for an element that doesn't have a defined intrinsic size.

It might be better to rewrite so the initial definitions is the “intrinsic max-content size” (which would be independent of aspect ratio), and then say the actual min/max content size is that value if it is a definite value, or the result of the algorithm otherwise.

That would also re-align the definition of “intrinsic size” for layout with the one from CSS images & SVG.
