Description

This will need text in the html spec - however likely can get on the same page here first as well.

Fieldsets likely want to determine their baselines from the "anonymous fieldset content box" https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#anonymous-fieldset-content-box

Start with the linked live DOM viewer and the CSS Align 3 issue context, then read the HTML specification's "anonymous fieldset content box" section. Coordinate the proposed baseline definition across the CSS and HTML specification text; done means the behavior is agreed and specified in both places.
