Re: [csswg-drafts] [css sizing] auto <length> description may have wrong "otherwise" (#7769)

I guess I should outline my concern with a real case. 

Imagine you have an offscreen element that has `content visibility: auto`. It has a remembered value and since it is offscreen and the contents are being skipped, this is value is being used for layout.

The user scrolls the element near to the view so the user agent starts rendering the elements. At this point it starts using the `length` because it is not skipping the child elements. 
1. Wont there potentially be some kind of visual effects due to the switch over?
2. Why ever both user using `auto`? How is it better to store the value  when you're always going to be switching to length at some point?
