I believe that I've explained all details of flow/flexes here:
http://www.terrainformatica.com/w3/flex-layout/flex-layout.htm
The only thing that is missed there is a definition of algorithm
of flex computations. I can add it if it will go anywhere.
In any case details of that algorithm is defined by Tab in his document.

One more thing that I would like to specify there is
vertical/horizontal-align interaction with flexes.
At the moment I am working on implementation of
vertical-align:baseline in flow: horizontal[-flow] layouts.
As soon as I will have something non-contradictory I'll
update that document with alignment definition.
