AOB?

fantasai: overview of css-align

addison: areas of interest?

fantasai: two sets of properties, logically derived

<r12a> https://www.w3.org/TR/css-align/

fantasai: sensitive to writing-mode
... one thing that's tricky
... start/end are relative to containing block
... align-self uses containing block's direction
... that way start for list is to the list, not the list item
... also self-start/end
... baseline alignment is very hairy
... using the "dominant baseline" by default
... using container baseline, hanging off that. that's tricky
... other thing is opposing writing-modes
... if you have mirrored writing modes, allow first vs. last

addison: (pines for illustrations)

fantasai: haven't figured out how to make easy to understand

addison: timeline?

fantasai: pretty soon?
... can fold in comments post-CR

richard: ttml and imsc folks, can anyone pitch in on discussions

jck: can you send summary to list?

richard: putting link in

<fantasai> https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1171

fantasai: is there a mode break-all for punctuation but keeps letters together

<r12a> John (and others) look at http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/reviews/ under TTML and IMSC

<fantasai> Is there a mode where kinsoku rules are relaxed entirely, but there exist restrictions on letters?

don't know one, but might still exist?
