Description

Alignment - for model group, should implicit alignment be greatest of the alignments of children, or least common multiple?

Use of 'greatest' may be a holdover from some earlier version of the spec where alignment values were constrained to be powers of 2. In that case greatest is guaranteed to be the same as least-common-multiple.

There is no such constraint on the value of the alignment property, so taking greatest alignment of the children is not conservative. It can result in incorrect alignment.
