So, rules 1-4 of the first numbered list will collapse any whitespace into a single space, as I expected. I suspect you intend that rule 4.2 would remove that final space, assuming there is a space before the inline flexbox. Given that these rules are defined over elements, and so no anonymous box creation has happened yet, that makes sense. Am I understanding correctly? ~TJ
