Afif13 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-anchor-position-1][css-position] behavior of inset-area when no anchor is defined ==
I just tried the below code:
```css
.container {
position: relative;
}
.element {
position: absolute;
inset-area: center;
margin: auto;
}
```
And to my surprise, it center the absolute element. Demo: https://codepen.io/t_afif/pen/OJYwybK
Based on the [Specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-anchor-position-1/#inset-area) the propety applies to "positioned elements with a [default anchor element](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-anchor-position-1/#default-anchor-element)". Does it mean that any positioned element has a default anchor which is its containing block?
If it's the correct behavior, I think the Spec should clarify the "default anchor" part. Or maybe this is a bug and `inset-area` should have no effect?
