RE: [css-flexbox] Should "max-width" influence the resolved flex base size? (from default "flex-basis:auto;width:auto")

> I found the old language I was thinking of. The 20120322 WD section 9 says:
  # Do not apply min/max-width/height constraints to
  # the preferred size of flexible lengths - those
  # constraints are handled elsewhere in this algorithm,
  # and doing so will produce incorrect results.

In our current implementation we render the same as firefox, and I would don't think it would be intuitive if we actually want to allow width to influence flex-basis but not min and max width. I think the wording should stay as is.
