[csswg-drafts] [css-align] Children orthogonal to container should inherit container's baseline alignment preferences as well (#6057)

tabatkins has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-align] Children orthogonal to container should inherit container's baseline alignment preferences as well ==
In <https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align/#generate-baselines> we specify that, if a baseline-aligned child has an orthogonal WM to its parent, we use the parent's WM to determine which edges of the child to use for synthesizing the baseline (line-under or line-over).

However, it's not specified what the child's "baseline alignment preference" is in this case; the rules just mention a block-flow direction that's parallel or anti-parallel.

I suspect that when we synthesize baselines in this case, we should also make the child act, for the purpose of baseline alignment preferences, as if it had its container's WM.
