Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox-1] 9.2. Line Length Determination Issue (#11392)

What's the reason for the downvote?

I repeat:

> According to [CSS Flexible Box Layout Module Level 1, 9.2. Line Length Determination (3)(C)](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1/#algo-main-item):
> 
> > "If the used flex basis is content or depends on its available space, and the flex container is being sized under a min-content or max-content constraint (e.g. when performing automatic table layout [CSS21]), size the item under that constraint. The flex base size is the item’s resulting main size."
> 

It's unclear what "or depends on its available space" means here, given that the possible values for flex-basis are limited to `content` and the `width` as defined in CSS2.

You pointed out that the definition of `width` was [extended](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#propdef-width) in draft and the new values in [css-sizing-4](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-4/#sizing-values) . I'm simply suggesting backporting a link to these definitions into the published version of the spec for clarity. Why the pushback?
