Description

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#intrinsic-sizes which discusses the max-content sizes of replaced elements is a bit off in a few ways:

• The conditional for when this text triggers hooks the text into the undefined cases in CSS2.1, but the text defines a bunch of cases to which the conditional doesn't apply.
• The conditional is above bolded text, so it's not obvious that it limits the text below it.
• The text claims to apply to boxes with / without preferred aspect ratio, but it really should apply specifically to replaced elements.
• The first bullet point of the last case can't apply under the conditional, and is non-Web-compatible otherwise, so should be deleted.
