Hm, okay.

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?
