<div style="display: inline-flex; align-items: last baseline;">
<div style="background: lime; font-size: 30px;">line1<br>line2</div>
<div style="display: flex;">
<div style="font-size: 30px; align-self: last baseline; background: cyan;">line1<br>line2<br>line3</div>
<div style="font-size: 80px; align-self: baseline; background: hotpink;">line1<br>line2</div>
</div>

Should the last baseline of the "lime" box be aligned with the last-baseline of the "cyan" box, or the "hotpink" box?
The rules just look at if something "participates in baseline alignment" so by that rule it should be the "hotpink" box.
But likely should be the "cyan" box.
