Hi,

thanks for taking time to dig into this issue.

I see that you've added a note too:
 # Note: For items with a specified minimum size of 'auto''
 # (the initial value), this is equivalent to a min-content minimum.

I think the new text in the the spec is fixing my previous example, but
let's use a new example to see if I'm understanding properly the
difference between auto and min-content minimums.

The base example will be the following (and we'll be playing with the
values of "grid-template-columns" on the grid container and "width" and
"min-width" on the item) [1]:
<div style="display: grid; width: min-content; font: 25px/1 Ahem;">
  <div style="width: auto; min-width: auto;">XX X</div>
</div>

1) width: auto; min-width: auto;
1.A) grid-template-columns: auto;        => Column's width: 50px;
1.B) grid-template-columns: min-content; => Column's width: 50px;

2) width: 100px; min-width: auto;
2.A) grid-template-columns: auto;        => Column's width: 100px;
2.B) grid-template-columns: min-content; => Column's width: 100px;

3) width: auto; min-width: 0px;
3.A) grid-template-columns: auto;        => Column's width: 0px;
3.B) grid-template-columns: min-content; => Column's width: 50px;

4) width: 100px; min-width: 0px;
4.A) grid-template-columns: auto;        => Column's width: 100px;
4.B) grid-template-columns: min-content; => Column's width: 100px;

So, if I got it right, the only difference between auto (A) and
min-content (B) minimums would be in the case 3) when we have an auto
width and a specified min-width in the item.
The rest of situations will have the same behavior in both cases.

The change in the spec is fixing case 4), which before was "0px" for
auto minimums (4.A) and now is "100px".


As a side comment, I think that the links to "auto" in "For auto
minimums" part of the spec are wrong, they're linking to
grid-template-columns|rows definition, but I guess they should link to
"auto" for width|height and "auto" for min-width|height.

Bye,
  Rego
