[csswg-drafts] [css-display] The principal box is unique

Loirooriol has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-display] The principal box is unique ==
>From 6ed5a5512c71078be96a49cfc7ba093524c91d9e, https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#intro says

> Typically, an element generates a single principal box

This seems to imply that in some cases there may be more than one principal box.

This contradicts https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#principal-box:

> When an element generates one or more boxes, **one** of them is the principal box

And my understanding was that the uniqueness was ratified in #1604

Instead, I would say

> Typically, an element generates a single <a>box</a>, the <a>principal box</a>, which represents itself and contains its contents in the <a>box tree</a>.
