Why don’t top and bottom `auto` margins center things?
This was already a feature for flex box and grid. They’re just adding this to flow layout. Still a welcome addition but consider that all browsers that add support for this will already have support for flex and grid.

Bizarre that a statement of fact is being voted down.
But what about all the Vertical Centering as a Service providers that is going to put out of business??!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Per the article, _align_ is for vertical distribution, and _justify_ is for horizontal. The example is actually behaving correctly. The naming is confusing though, imo
Ah! Thanks for the correction. Unfortunately it's not centered vertically either. It's in the top left.

Doesn’t seem like that would play nice with margin collapsing, like what if you had two box elements with that style that would otherwise undergo margin collapsing, how should they render? What’s the baseline margin to combine if they should collapse and what’s the baseline margin to separate them if they shouldn’t?
Even with all the cool layout props we have today, it’s way too complicated to say „make this thing fill the whole screen minus the navbar at the top, make it scrollable if the content overflows and Center it vertically otherwise“. Add a grid or sticky elements or z index modifications to the mix, and the quirks get loud fast.

It seems odd that "style sheets" turned into layout language. ;-)
