What does it do different than auto?

The example I saw was max-width: intrinsic;

It looks like the intrinsic value is part of the newer CSS3 sizing module:

I have not used it yet but perhaps the reference will provide you with more information.

Based on a quick review, this module would make it easier to specify how content fills the width and height of a parent containing block.

At the moment, JavaScript functions are often used to compute widths and heights of container blocks based on % values for variable child elements content.
