== [css-flexbox] Is it ok to use fixed width in pixel to keep fixed consistent spacing between flex items? ==
I check the spec https://www.w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1/#item-margins It says that we should not margin and padding in percentage but doesn't say that using fixed width like `margin:10px` is fine.

Is this code not following the spec? Mainly the use of `margin` because I want to keep the `margin` always `10px` in this case. 

**CSS**

```
.flex-container {
  display: inline-flex;
  width: 400px;
  height: 250px;
  background-color: lightgrey;
}

.flex-item {
  background-color: cornflowerblue;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  margin-right: 10px;
}
```

**HTML**
```

<div class="flex-container">
  <div class="flex-item">flex item 1</div>
  <div class="flex-item">flex item 2</div>
  <div class="flex-item">flex item 3</div>
</div>
```
