1x4 with parallel and orthogonal items. Items orthogonal to the baseline-axis will use a synthesized baseline (border-box 'under' edge).
All items share 'first-row' Baseline Context. No item shares any column-like Baseline Context.
The 'align-self' property (orthogonal to the shared context) aligns all items along the baseline-axis using the row-like baseline.
