   Lack of clarity about whether a block-level box generated by a 
   pseudo-element is a principal box, and whether it's an anonymous box.

+
+Between the text in 12.1, the new text in 5.12, and the lack of any implications in Chapter 9 that anonymous boxes are generated by pseudo-elements, I think it is clear that pseudo-elements, like real elements, generate principal boxes and not anonymous boxes.

+Could clarify by adding "The 'direction' property of a containing block is given by the 'direction' property of the element whose box(es) establish that containing block." But doesn't seem to be a point of confusion, so deferring to future versions.
