Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-sizing-3] Clarify auto value computation for width and height of inline elements (#11268)

>I don't understand your confusion. 

It seems like you're not fully considering what I wrote. 

Here's the reference again:

"According to [CSS Box Sizing Module Level 3, Section 3.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-sizing-3/#sizing-values):

auto - For width/height, specifies an automatic size (automatic block size / automatic inline size). **See the relevant layout module for how to calculate this.**"

I’m not saying CSS Sizing contradicts CSS2. What I’m pointing out is that the explanation isn't in the "[CSS Inline Layout Module Level 3](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-inline-3/)".

If the specification directs me to consult the "relevant layout module" for a calculation method, why isn’t it covered in that "relevant layout module"?

>CSS Inline could repeat that the size properties don't apply, but it doesn't seem helpful

That’s not the issue. If the specification tells me where to look for something, I expect to find it there. If you think the location is incorrect, that’s fine—just provide a link to the proper place. However, if the spec points somewhere, it should be covered at that location.
