[css-align] rules on synthesizing baselines are split across two sections #1450

Description

@dbaron

At the end of the section on Baseline Alignment Terminology, there's a rule (a paragraph with two list items following) saying:

For the purpose of synthesizing baselines of boxes whose block flow direction is parallel to the axis of the alignment context:

  • If the box establishing the alignment context has a block flow direction that is orthogonal to the axis of the alignment context, use its writing mode.
  • Otherwise, assume either horizontal-tb or vertical-lr writing-mode, whichever is orthogonal to the box’s own writing-mode.

I think this should be in the previous section, on Determining the Baselines of a Box, since that's where the rules on synthesizing baselines are.
