Bug 1427292: [css-display] Update display: contents on Unusual Elements to the spec.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/209464/#review216340

If I read the code correctly, this would enable display:contents on MathML elements, right?
That makes me a bit nervous as I'm not sure our MathML code is ready for that.
Also, the spec at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#unbox doesn't say anything about MathML AFAICT.
Note that the final clause says "any other *HTML* element" (my emphasis).
So, I tend to think we should continue to ignore display:contents for MathML, and perhaps raise a spec issue on having that behavior specified.

r- until the MathML situation is clarified.

nit: for spec-related changes like this I try to mention the relevant spec in the commit message (ala www-style).  Also, capitalizing "unusual elements" would make it clearer that it's a spec term rather than some elements that you find unusual.  Like so:

::: layout/base/nsCSSFrameConstructor.h:843
(Diff revision 1)
> +                  bool* aFound = nullptr);
>  

nit: the name aFound seems slightly ambiguous (whether it means that the tag matched or a FrameConstructionData was found); perhaps aMatch or aFoundTag is clearer?
(I see that you documented it clearly, but I'd like the code to be clearer without having seen that comment)

I'm not sure if we have a solid code convention for this, but I'd expect aFound to always be assigned when non-null.  I.e. "if (aFound) aFound = false;" before the return here.  Otherwise, a caller that declares a bool without initializing it might use an uninitialized variable.

I think I'd slightly prefer to always assign it, and not initialize the variables in the callers (and update the documentation to make it clear it's always assigned when non-null).

ditto re naming, e.g. "match" or "foundTag" here

This doesn't handle <applet> according to spec though...
Given that we don't recognize <applet> at all, I think we should raise a spec issue rather than introduce special handling for it here.  It seems reasonable to request that for UAs that don't support <applet> at all that it should be treated as <foo>, i.e. display:contents "behave as normal" rather than display:none.

nit: this comment can be clearer, I suggest:

There's no spec that says what display:contents means for XUL elements, but we do the same as for HTML "Unusual Elements", i.e. treat it as display:none.

nit: I think the established code convention is:
auto var = static_cast<T*>(...);

(i.e. drop the redundant * after auto)

Also, can you make sure that we test nested <legend> somewhere?
e.g. something like this should work I think.

Sure, sounds good.

Yeah, that's what Chromium does fwiw, I will.

Whoopsies. Well, try caught it at least :)

I've documented this:

Added a note to the description of the contents value on the display reference page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display#Syntax
(search for <display-box> in this section of the page)

Added a note to the Fx59 rel notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/59#CSS

Updated the browser compat data for display to cover this stuff:
https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/895

Let me know if that sounds OK. Thanks!
