Description
There are a few properties where percentages are resolved against the size of the container. What if the container is fragmented? Each fragment is likely to have a different block size, and could even have different inline-sizes. How are these percentages then resolved? Per fragment? Based on the first fragment? Something else? For instance:
margin-*,padding-*(both have potentially multiple instances, due tobox-decoration-break)text-indentleft,right,top,bottom- (I'm sure there are more)
