Description

While analyzing Chromium's MathML code not covered by wpt tests, I noticed we actually do special stuff for min-max size calculation when size containment is specified. I'm pretty sure the same is true for the layout phase.

Do we need extra wording in the spec to explain how to deal with properties from https://drafts.csswg.org/css-contain-2/ ?

We probably need extra WPT tests to check how MathML behave with size containment (I thought I had written one in the past, but can't find any now).

Research direction

Start by comparing MathML Core's existing size and layout behavior with the CSS Containment Level 2 properties referenced in the issue. Search the Web Platform Tests for MathML cases involving size containment and identify the missing coverage. Done means the specification explains the interaction clearly and corresponding WPT tests cover the behavior.
