You can use my draft then :)

http://www.terrainformatica.com/w3/flex-layout/flex-layout.htm

It is proven to be not contradictory.

Anyway there is no UA at the moment that implements
in full either one of mentioned drafts.

Mine at least is backed by existing implementation so various
aspects like stability of algorithms and features can be tried.
