RE: [css3-flexbox][css3-grid] Inline replaced elements as grid items and flexbox items

You are right, computed style is whatever is specified.

Do you have an example of a replaced element being treated differently when 'display' is 'inline' vs. 'inline-block' ?

No, it does not.  If you then look at the computed style, it'll come back as "inline", not "inline-block".

Now the _rendering_ is the same for replaced elements whether they're inline-block or not... mostly.  For replaced elements with nontrivial baselines, even that's not clear.  But that's a consequence of the spec explicitly having different layout rules for replaced and non-replaced display:inline elements.
