RE: [css3-flexbox] getComputedStyle on flex property

Are values for preferred-size same as what width/height would have in computed style if they had same specified values? Then yes, it should be same.

Not sure what preferred-size should be when it is 'auto' and corresponding width or height are not auto. I think it should still be 'auto' as you suggest.

Subject: [css3-flexbox] getComputedStyle on flex property

What should getComputedStyle return when called on the flex property?  Here are some examples with my guesses:

div.style.flex = 'none';
getComputedStyle(div).flex -> 0 0 auto

div.style.flex = '1 2 3px';
getComputedStyle(div).flex -> 1 2 3px

div.style.flex = '1 2 50%';
getComputedStyle(div).flex -> 1 2 50%

div.style.flex = '1 2 1em';
getComputedStyle(div).flex -> 1 2 16px

div.style.flex = '1 2 auto';
getComputedStyle(div).flex -> 1 2 auto

Does that seem correct?
