Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] text-align: match-parent on the root element with direction: rtl doesn't match browsers (#6542)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-text] text-align: match-parent on the root element with direction: rtl doesn't match browsers`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: text-align: match-parent computes to 'start' on the root element`

&lt;emilio> LOL<br>
&lt;emilio> fantasai: seems we currently have all browsers matching<br>
&lt;emilio> ... I don't think this is the ideal behavior but it's not terrible<br>
&lt;emilio> ... and it's a situation that is almost never going to happen in a real page<br>
&lt;emilio> ... unless somebody did something super weird by accident<br>
&lt;emilio> ... given we currently seem all engines compute to start<br>
&lt;emilio> ... which is Firefox's behavior<br>
&lt;emilio> ... I'm happy to resolve to that<br>
&lt;emilio> ... I think the right answer is to compute to right<br>
&lt;emilio> ... because it otherwise resolves to an absolute side<br>
&lt;emilio> florian: so proposal is computing to start<br>
&lt;emilio> ... behavior is the same as the spec asked for<br>
&lt;fantasai> on single-direction pages<br>
&lt;fantasai> emilio: I would rather to this, mostly because of how it interacts with writing-mode propagation<br>
&lt;fantasai> emilio: just compute to start value<br>
&lt;fantasai> Rossen_: any objections?<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: text-align: match-parent computes to 'start' on the root element<br>
