Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display-3] Clarify whether the initial containing block establishes a block formatting context (#7207)

You’re right, I guess saying that the root element’s box participates in a block formatting context leads to the question of _“well, why does the root element’s box establish its own independent block formatting context then?”_.

To me, it’s all the more reason to explicitly clarify this in the spec. I think unspecified situations like this make it more difficult to talk about and teach layout to others, especially to people who aren’t aware of how these specs developed over time from having just “normal flow” layout to multiple layout types now.
