Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-position] should define containing block for static and relative positionings (#3253)

I'm fine with that... but I'm not sure that all layouts clearly define the containing block. E.g. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol/#the-multi-column-model

> These column boxes establish an independent block formatting context into which the multi-column container’s content flows, and form the containing block for its non-positioned children.

works great for `position: static`, but not for `position: relative`. I guess it ends up being fine since the column boxes are block containers, so it will be covered by the future Flow Layout spec, but it's a bit confusing.

Maybe CSS Position could defer the definition of the containing block of a static, relative, or sticky box to the formatting context, but specify that these 3 cases must have the same containing block
