<p>4x1 with orthogonal items.<br>No item shares any row-like Baseline Context. All items share 'first-column' Baseline Context.<br>Items participate in both, column and row baseline, but since they only share a column-like Baseline Context only 'justify-self' (row baseline-axis) should apply.<br>The Baseline Alignment may increase size contribution of some items.</p>
