± From: Tab Atkins Jr. [mailto:jackalmage@gmail.com] ± Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 6:24 PM ± ± > Fallback of "treat 'baseline' as 'center'" made sense in old spec ± that didn't have per-item alignment and wasn't writing-mode friendly ± either. Now baseline alignment simply always works... ± ± No, baseline still doesn't work if the item's baseline is ± perpendicular to the main axis. What can it align with? This is ± guaranteed to happen if you use a column flexbox and the items have ± the same writing mode as the flexbox. This is the *normal* case for ± column flexboxes. ^_^ If there was a baseline from vertical text, it would make sense to align the "after" edge of content box with the baseline - that's what would happen in text, right? If there is no vertical text, there is no clear way to decide where is "after", so I guess center is a better choice. But if there is a baseline, let's say horizontal to make it simpler, we will put images on the baseline, right?
