As a more general question, what information is necessary for a new
layout mode to define in order for it to work nicely with the other
layout modes?  I want to define the interface between layout modes, so
it's easy for new ones to integrate.

Right now I have the min/max/fit-content widths and heights, and the
baseline.  Do you know of anything else?
