Hi, again. I have a nit with the naming in the specification. Unless other specifications have been improved since I last read them, 'box' and 'block' are sometimes used interchangeably. Even if all references change to refer only to 'block' for rectangular elements with padding, margins, borders, etc., and all references to 'box' only refer to flexible boxes, the names are still similar enough to cause confusion. I'm sure this was discussed, somewhere, but I don't remember seeing it here. Would something like 'space' make sense to replace 'box'? The spec becomes 'flexspace' and the properties become 'space-align', 'space- direction', 'space-flex', etc., and this removes the conflict </James>
