But I think "inline size" should be "line size". Elements are "inline" when they occupy part of a line, but the whole line is better referred to simly a "line", like we do in "line box". > > We consistently use "size" as a neutral term for width/height, so I'm > > happy to continue using that. > > > > I did a quick grep through the repo to find sentences that use > > measure/extent currently, and replacing those instances with > > inline-size/block-size feels pretty natural.

So my proposal would be: block-size line-size Likewise, I think "inline-start" and "inline-end" should be renamed line-start line-end to match "block-start" and "block-end". http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#logical-directions Cheers, -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª howcome@opera.com http://people.opera.com/howcome
