Specificationhttps://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline-3/#baseline-source

Summary

The "baseline-source" properties allows web developers to specify if an
inline-level box should use the "first" or "last" baseline for alignment
within an linebox. Today the default behaviour is confusing for web
developers. Consider: test <div style="display:
inline-block;">line1<br>line2</div> test <div style="display:
inline-flex;">line1<br>line2</div> The "inline-block" will align to the
last baseline, and the "inline-flex" will align to the first baseline.
"baseline-source: auto" is the existing (confusing) behaviour. Web
developers can specify "baseline-source: first" or "baseline-source: last"
to directly determine how they want these boxes to align within a line-box.

Motivation

>From changes to last/first baseline features we've received requests from
web developers to have more precise control over which baseline to use for
alignment within a line-box.

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
