Description

From https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing/#valdef-width-auto, about min-width/height: auto,

For backwards-compatibility, the resolved value of this keyword is zero for boxes of all [CSS2] display types: block and inline boxes, inline blocks, and all the table layout boxes.

But this is buried in css-sizing and hard to find. Please include it in https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom/#resolved-value too.
