Aside: the flexbox spec actually used to have 0% as the default flex-basis value in the flex shorthand, but it this default changed from "0%" to "the length zero" in this commit from August: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/rev/b2a41fac8bd9#l2.71 At first I thought it might've been a mistake (since the commit message sounds like it wasn't intending to change meaning), but I don't think it was a mistake, because the next changeset replaced "0%" with "0px" in a several other places, e.g.: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/rev/4e1547aca385#l1.127 fantasai or Tab, do you happen to recall the reason for that change? (I searched my www-style archive for "flex-basis", but I couldn't find anything related, in the timeframe of those commits.) ~Daniel
