Read the whole sentence:

For any inline-area descendant I of P ,

the distance in the shift-direction from the dominant baseline of P to the
alignment-point of I

equals

the offset between the dominant baseline of P and the baseline of P corresponding
to the alignment-baseline trait of I ,

plus

the sum of the baseline-shifts for I and all of its ancestors which are descendants
of P .
