[csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox-1] 9.2(3)(e) — used flex basis is not an optional substitution (#12017)

gitspeaks has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-flexbox-1] 9.2(3)(e) — used flex basis is not an optional substitution ==
The paragraph at [9.2(3)(e)](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox-1/#algo-main-item) states:

> Otherwise, size the item into the available space using its used flex basis in place of its main size, treating a value of `content` as `max-content`.

The phrase *"in place of its main size"* is confusing and should be removed.

The *used flex basis* is always either the main size (when `flex-basis` is initially `auto`) or a user-declared size that overrides the main size.  Therefore, *used flex basis* is not an alternative to the main size—it's the actual size under consideration.
