Hi,

// CSS:
div{
   display: flex;
}

// HTML:
<div hidden></div>

Per spec, the div should be shown right? I imagine there is no way back 
on that?
Does it mean hidden only works when the default (UA stylesheet) display 
value is kept? Does it mean hidden is completely useless when trying to 
combine it with display:flex?

What I'm trying to do is just that an element have display:flex and to 
hide it with the hidden attribute when I don't need the element to be 
shown. I guess my only option is changing style.display?

Thanks,

David
