Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox] Conflicting definitions of used cross size of a flex container (#5190)

@SimonSapin Wrt https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5190#issuecomment-643269004
In-flow column flex containers do indeed resolve the cross size using https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/visudet.html#blockwidth same as block containers, and not like tables in CSS2. See [testcase](http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cdiv%20style%3D%22display%3A%20flex%3B%20border%3A%20solid%3B%20flex-flow%3A%20column-wrap%22%3Ex%3C%2Fdiv%3E). So I think this is correct?

> it would be nice to have a common "protocol" for how the inner and outer layout modes interact with each other

Agreed, and to a certain extent we're trying to do this by having each layout mode define its min-content and max-content sizes and size contributions, and having the specs for each formatting context reference those sizes of the items they are laying out.

p.s. sorry for the late response; we haven't triaged flexbox issues for far too long. :(
