This is on a different level.  I am saying that calc(10px + 1fl) 
*reads as if* it cannot be narrower than 10px, and therefore Tab's
proposed semantics are confusing. You are saying that sometimes you 
want it to be narrower than 10px, but to that I say, why not write 
calc(10px + 1fl - upto(10px)) if that's what you mean?
