Hello,

"
(...)
constraint
     the box’s inline-axis fill-available fit into the smaller of
(...)
"
CSS3 Writing-Modes, §7.3.2. Auto-sizing Block Containers in Orthogonal 
Flows
1.Calculate the used column-width:
o)
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-writing-modes-3/#auto-multicol

and "fill available fit" linked to
CSS3 Sizing, §2. Terminology
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-sizing/#terms

but "fill available fit" expression is not defined.

I believe (although not entirely sure) that fill available fit's 
definition would be and should be instead fill available *measure*.

So the statement in CSS3 Writing-Modes §7.3.2.1 o) should be saying:

"
(...)
constraint
     the box’s inline-axis fill-available measure into the smaller of
(...)
"

and "fill-available measure" should be linking to

"
fill-available measure
     Roughly, the measure a box would take if it filled its available 
measure.
