Re: [css-flexbox] Computation Algorithm

The intuition is not hard:
1) every element has a preferred width
2) if the preferred widths add up to less than the width of the container,
the leftover width is allocated to the children in proportion to their
box-flex values
3) if the preferred widths add up to more than the width of the container,
the excess width is taken away from the children in proportion to their
box-flex values
I don't think this is difficult for authors to understand.

I'd have to talk to XUL developers more to understand how this concept of
preferred width is useful to them. I'll blog and see if I can get some to
turn up here.
