<p>1x4 with orthogonal items. <br>All items share 'first-row' Baseline Context. No item shares any column-like Baseline Context.<br>Orthogonal items don't participate in baseline alignment in the row-like Baseline Context; since no item shares column-like Baseline Context, neither 'aling-self' or 'justify-self' apply.</p>
