Description

We can be pretty sure that a “fixed” sizes include <length>. Does it also include extrinsic sizes? If so, under what conditions? (When this section of the spec was written, definite sizes were very trivial to calculate, but now they are complicated and might not be appropriate to depend on here.)

Research direction

Read the CSS Writing Modes Level 3 section on available space for orthogonal flows. Determine whether “fixed size” includes only values or also extrinsic sizes, and under which conditions; the specification is done when this definition is explicit and unambiguous.
