[css3-box] Added an issue about the terms “inline dimension” and
“block dimension” (which were shortened from “inline-progression dimension” and “block-progression dimension” from XSL). css3-writing-modes instead uses “measure” and “extent.” The two modules should use the same terms. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : c1e9ccb65753bd07cb9c3335c2ef6322a066b2e4
