Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align] the `start` keyword should be unambiguously defined as the inline-start / block-start side. (#6186)

I think the existing spec text is intended to be grounded in https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#start which says:
> Where contextually unambiguous or encompassing both meanings, the terms start and end are used in place of block-start/inline-start and block-end/inline-end, respectively.

But I think it's worth being explicit and not using this shorthand terminology in this bit of css-align, because it's so easy to read "the start edge in the appropriate axis" as e.g. meaning "the main-start edge" in a case where that the appropriate axis is the main axis.
