And you still have an equivalent problem when you collapse 20px with 2fl, as it turns out. At least some set of cases reduce to the problem of solving for F an equation of the form sum_over_i( max(m_i, k_i F) ) = N It's piecewise-linear, but increasing and continuous in F so it's not that hard. It just adds to the complexity. But actually, it seems to me the equations you'll have to solve aren't any more complex than you get when you introduce min-width and max-width. So maybe this is a non-issue. I'd definitely like to see at least pseudocode for the flex assignment algorithm though.
