{COMMENT: normally when you use two words to modify a single word, as when
"under margin", "over margin" modify the word, "edge" or "edges", then it is
customary to join the two modifying words with a hyphen.}
Fixed.
6.2
inline-start
"Nominally the side from which text of its inline base direction will start.
For boxes with a used direction value of ltr, this means the line-left side.
For boxes with a used direction value of rtl, this means the line-right side. "

{COMMENT: This text is unclear to me; not sure what you mean by "its" -- the
box's?; I am not sure thus how to reword "inline base direction" -- so I left
this phrase out though you probably need something. Also do you need to say
"Nominally"? Because "nominally" does not mean anything to me in this sentence,
though normally "nominally" is defined as "in name" -- but I cannot see saying
this here; it just seems to not be the right word. Also finally, and I know
this is a dumb question, but why can the inline--start never be at the top or
the bottom, when the lines run top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top? The diagram
seems to suggest that inline-start can be at the bottom or top.}
Please allow me to work on this later.
6.2 second paragraph (after the list of four "flow-relative directions" --
block-end, block-start, etc.)
"Where unambiguous (or dual-meaning), the terms start and end are used in place
of block-start/inline-start and block-end/inline-end, respectively."
{COMMENT: "unambiguous" is the opposite of "dual-meaning" -- "dual meaning"
means "ambiguous"; do you mean the following? (if so it's o.k. to eliminate the
stuff in parentheses altogether):}
Fixed.
6.3 Line-relative directions
Figure 15, Figure 16
{COMMENT: is it possible to have more space between these two figures?}
Fixed.
