This is just a mistake in the spec. It should say "specified value, except for auto (see prose)", like the properties in Flexbox/Grid do. > In other specifications, like the CSS Grid Layout", some properties > define a "Computed value" as "As specified, except for auto (see > prose)".

It sounds like you don't understand what the value computation stages mean; reading the Cascade spec should help <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-cascade/>. ~TJ
