Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-position-3] Section 3.5.1 Conflicts with CSS2 Positioning Behavior (#11258)

Not to imply any lack of appreciation for the proposed solution, I must admit I struggle to understand the value the new 'inset-modified containing block' based model brings compared to the CSS2 'containing block equation model'. 
In particular, this is unclear when considering edge cases like this and when different configurations of `auto` values still affect margin calculations. Simply put, why can't the self-alignment properties be added on top of the CSS2 model, overriding the expected rules as needed? Why is the concept of an  'inset-modified containing block' necessary to support self-alignment properties?
