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

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Container baselines with reverse directions`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: flex baselines take flex ordering into account so first/last use roughly *physical* directions`

&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: at TPAC we did a bunch of baseline stuff<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: Today, if we have flex-direction:*-reverse, we will take the first baseline from the first in DOM order, the "logical" first<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: this is interoperable across all browsers<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: The spec doesn't say this, I believe it says to take flex-direction into account, which means browsers are all wrong today<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: We're willing to make this change, I don't have strong opinions<br>
&lt;jcraig> rrsagent, make minutes<br>

&lt;Rossen_> q?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: I think the spec change makes sense, if you ask for last-baseline you want the baseline at the bottom, not the top<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: So I think that makes the most sense<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: It'll likely be compatible<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: One possible case is people doing column-reverse and having overflow propogate things upwards, so the "first" thing will be way up in the overflow area and get clamped to the block-start edge<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: They're probably not asking for baseline alignment in these cases, so probably fine?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> iank_: Yup, just a subtle side effect, I'm fine with it<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> I'm fine with this.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: flex baselines take flex ordering into account so first/last use roughly *physical* directions<br>
