I'm opening this for the record. This is described in https://mathml-refresh.github.io/mathml-core/#dfn-inline-stretch-size-constraint and used elsewhere in the MathML core specification.
Ideally, we should define them in the CSS layout API as three new double values:
https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-layout-api/#layout-constraints
That way, if people write their own custom MathML layout (e.g. a custom mo operator relying on variable fonts or an mrow-like custom layout stretching its children) they could still receive / pass the layout constraints from their parent / to their childen.
As I said for other CSS features, this is still very hypothetical since math polyfills don't use modern techniques yet. So it makes sense to postpone this for now.
