gitspeaks has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-flexbox-1] Add definitions for outer main/cross size in terminology == The specification frequently uses phrases like: "outer hypothetical main size" "outer hypothetical cross size" "outer cross size" "outer main size" "outer flex base size" However, the [current terminology](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox/#box-model) defines "main size" and "cross-size" in terms of `width` or `height`. In English writing mode (row direction), this results in an invalid phrases like: > "outer hypothetical main size" is "resolved" as: > "outer hypothetical `width`" when the intended meaning is actually: > the [outer size](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#outer-size) along the inline axis. To resolve this, I propose adding explicit definitions: - Outer main size: The [outer size](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#outer-size) in the main dimension. - Outer cross size: The [outer size](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#outer-size) in the cross dimension. For the phrase "outer flex base size", given its limited occurrences, I recommend rephrasing it as: > "flex base size plus any padding, border, and margin length of the element in the main dimension" Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11425 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
