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

@Loirooriol My concerns here are answered. 

I was mostly concerned about the case when the element is coming into view from offscreen - i.e.  why you would choose not to use the remembered size in this case. You answered this two comments above in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7769#issuecomment-1254005385; it's because you're not in size containment anymore so you're not skipping the content. IN other words you're not using the length OR the remembered size.

"remembering" is a way of getting the benefits of size containment when you're offscreen without actually having to "think about it". If something is actually "planned" to be size contained and is visible then using the user-supplied length makes sense.

Thanks for taking the time to spell it out for me. Closing this - I'll keep an eye on https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7519
