If you manage to define it in a simple way that will make it useful and easy to implement, go for it. Well, like Robert said, the problems that margin-collapsing can cause are *already* caused by max/min-widths. So we don't really gain anything by disallowing it; the algorithm for flex distribution is going to have to be robust enough to handle it in any case. ~TJ
