The static positions of a block-level box are defined in [CSS2] Chapter 10

Is the plural "positions" intentional? If so, it's not clear to me what it means. I think the term you're looking for is "static position" (or "static position rectangle"). (this occurs in Block Layout and Inline Layout)

static positionCSS2§10.6.4).

Looks like it was meant to be a link? (under Block Layout)

and positioned at its inline-start static position

Is missing a period to end the sentence. (under Inline Layout)

See [[!css-flexbox-1#abspos-items]].

... the grid-placement properties instead establishes its static position rectangle.

The phrasing seems odd to me. Shouldn't the "instead" be at the end? (under Grid Layout)

See [[!css-grid-1#static-position]].

It seems all direct links to a CSS2 section here goes to https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/...
I think it would be better to link to https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/... instead, since the former displays a big red warning box.

Is the plural "positions" intentional?

Yes. See CSS2 10.3.7, which defines a static position for each inset property.

[link, period, link, link]

Fixed.

[instead]

It can go on either side, but sure, we moved it to the end.

[pointing to CSS2.2]

We've updated the links to point to /TR/CSS2. This does need repub, tho.

"a inline"

fixed
