Correct. However, the intent is to describe and define these sorts of sizing issues, normatively and informatively by reference to other specs. This should help implementers and content creators alike. Your grid will be a big help there, thanks.

I believe that CDF worked with other groups, like CSS and SVG, to get the wording resolved in those specs, rather than define it in the CDF specs. In any case, we need to resolve all these things to make it consistent and interoperable, as well as make the common use cases the defaults (where possible).
