[csswg-drafts] [css-align-3][css-anchor-position-1] Do we want to allow `safe` or `unsafe` keywords by themselves / in combination with `normal`? (#12920)

fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-align-3][css-anchor-position-1] Do we want to allow `safe` or `unsafe` keywords by themselves / in combination with `normal`? ==
The Anchor Positioning spec introduces some automatic behavior for `normal` alignment in response to `position-area`. It defaults items to "smart" overflow alignment, trying to stay within the containing block. For any individual alignment value, the overflow alignment type can be overridden with `safe` or `unsafe`, but we don't currently have a way to tweak the automatic alignment to control its overflow safety without specifying an explicit alignment. Should we add a syntax for this? If so, would adding just an overflow alignment keyword by itself be sufficient?
