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

I suppose that's fair.  Nonetheless, it *feels* circular for someone who doesn't know that "start" has  a special more-precise-than-one-might-think meaning. (Particularly in this context where there are multiple other "*-start" edges that this usage does *not* mean to include, like cross-start and main-start).

Anyway: linkification would nicely break out of the (perceived) circular nature of this justify/align `start` keyword's definition.
