Yeah -- IIRC, we made "min-width:auto" depend on specified "width" [via flex-basis:main-size] just to make things more intuitive for authors who had content like... <div style="flex:none; width:5px">helloooooooooooo</div> ...and then got confused about why their specified "width" seemed to be ignored. Authors have expectations about specified "width"/"height" being honored (even if they're small), but I don't think they've developed similar expectations about "flex-basis" (which is good, because flex-basis is just just a "basis" from which we generally expect to "flex"). That difference in expectations is why I think it's reasonable for these behaviors to differ, even though it's a bit inconsistent. > I'll remove the > first bullet-point, then. Cool, that sounds good to me. Thanks! ~Daniel
