Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-position-3][css-align-3] Handling center alignment for abspos boxes with auto/normal self-alignment and center item alignment in parent (#12542)

The Houdini Task Force just discussed `[css-position-3][css-align-3] Handling center alignment for abspos boxes with auto/normal self-alignment and center item alignment in parent`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: in a statically positioned axis, normal self-alignment *does* take from the parent's justify/align-items property`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;alisonmaher> TabAtkins: this is the exact question we resolved on<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> fantasai: that was just the axis<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> 2<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> TabAtkins: we have align self on abspos. The normal keyword always resolves to stretch and start not align items. Need static pos exception<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> ...behavior of normal keyword needs to look at parent align items or justify when calculating static pos in this case<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> iank_: yes<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> iank_: have compat on flex for this<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> TabAtkins: grid also works that way<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> iank_: sgtm<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> ...align items of parent not CB<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> oriol: wondering if it was web compat to do in general<br>
&lt;fantasai> PROPOSED: in a statically positioned axis, normal self-alignment *does* take from the parent's justify/align-items property<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> ...probably not matching in servo<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: in a statically positioned axis, normal self-alignment *does* take from the parent's justify/align-items property<br>
