Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display] Understanding blockification (#12216)

If the box is inline flow, blockification guarantees a block container there.

Other than that, why do we care if an absolutely positioned element generates a block-level box? Block-level is a concept specific to flow layout, but the box is not participating in flow layout. Same for flex item, grid item, etc.

> No contradiction, the static position just uses the original display before blockification.

Maybe not a contradiction, but this means that in layout, you have to use pre-computed styles. I don't know of any other cases like that.
