This is my favorite.

For one, I value the swapped ordering.  Having "justify" and "align"
come first makes more sense to me, given our general rules for how
alignment works.  It also puts us slightly farther away from the
existing text/vertical-align properties, which is good.

For two, outside/inside is very difficult to confuse, especially as we
introduce more things using the inside/outside pair.
