<legend> in WebKit avoids floats but otherwise does not create a block formatting context (like in Chromium). This is weird, and not a behavior supported by CSS, and is not interoperable with Gecko or EdgeHTML. The proposal is to make only the "rendered legend" (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#rendered-legend ) create an actual block formatting context, to make <legend> in general have less magic.

Discussion:
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2519

Proposed spec change:

In-progress CL for Chromium:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/512824/

web-platform-tests: none yet
