I think it is pretty clear as is, but if you must re-cast, I would suggest:

If 'height' and 'width' both have computed values of 'auto' and the 
element also has an intrinsic height, then that intrinsic height is 
the used value of 'height'.

If this change is adopted, I would also suggest that the immediately 
following paragraph should be reordered to provide an appropriate 
parallel for the reader:

If 'height' and 'width' both have computed values of 'auto' and the 
element has no intrinsic height, but does have an intrinsic width and 
intrinsic ratio; or if 'height' has a computed value of 'auto', 
'width' has some other computed value, and the element does have an 
intrinsic ratio; then the used value of 'height' is:

(used width) / (intrinsic ratio)


In my opinion, that makes the progression much easier to follow.
