Closing as “no change”; as far as we can tell, while it is not a precise mathematical definition, everything is defined precisely enough as English to support the definition of CSS layout. We *could* redefine things in a more strict algorithmic style, but it doesn't seem like doing so would solve any problems in practice, and it would make the text much more complex to read, particularly in light of the way various boxes and their descendants interact in, e.g., block and inline formatting contexts, and cannot be simplified to basic parent-child relationships. Although block, inline, and ruby formatting contexts do need further definition, that job is for the Inline, Ruby, and Block Layout specifications, not Display (noting that the Block Layout specification does not yet exist, except insofar as CSS2 covers it). We think the current text of Display, while it might not be ideal, is sufficient for its purpose, which is to clarify that all these layout models intermesh in a complex way, rather than being isolated by an FC boundary like most other layout modes are. ~@tabatkins and @fantasai -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5105#issuecomment-893876965 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
