It's not just about containing floats... or even just about blocks. The 'flow' keyword (as opposed to 'flow-root') is applied to blocks to indicate that their context and their contents are all part of the same formatting context--implying a certain boundary transparency wrt margins and floats--but it also is applied to inlines to indicate the same thing, that the contents of the inline and its surrounding context all participate in the same formatting context (which in this case is about merging text runs, aligning together, performing bidi-reordering across boundaries, etc.). "Flow" is also used to describe the content model in HTML that allows intermixing of block and inline content, and we wanted to tie into that concept. -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/964#issuecomment-274638719 using your GitHub accountReceived on Monday, 23 January 2017 22:30:54 UTC
