I am not getting this part. Are you saying that the *correct*
hypothetical main size of <image> in the above example is 50px? Why?
That doesn't feel right to me....

This is easier to understand. 'align-self: stretch' has contradicted CSS
2.1 already. For example, a 'height: auto; align-self: stretch;' flex
item would already fail the CSS 2.1 requirement for a non-replaced
element with 'height: auto' saying that the height is the sum of heights
of blocks or lineboxes inside. Therefore, "honoring aspect ratio", being
a requirement for a replaced element with 'height: auto;' , would
similarly fail to be be satisfied.
