Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox-1] Flex container baselines with reverse direction. (#7776)

Yeah, the spec says "...the flex container’s first/last cross-axis baseline set is generated from the alignment baseline of the **startmost/endmost** flex item".  I presume that's writing-mode-relative `start`, not `flex-start` etc.?  Would be good to make that explicit, though.

This startmost/endmost language is new to me, I think; the spec used to say "...the **first/last** flex item" instead, but that changed here:
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/commit/cd4c3e47ebba85d97a1a0c021392e467148357b9#diff-31473a971130c12d7779da8958b11544204cbbed6175c50ee6001602508a7ca3R2235

as a fix for #995. Looks like all implementations approximately match the old spec text; maybe we all just missed the spec edit? :)

I don't have strong feelings on what's best here; it's a relatively trivial change if we do decide to change (assuming webcompat allows it)
