[css3-flexbox] Typos in updated flexbox spec

Hi Tab,

Just read through the updated flexbox spec
( http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-flexbox/ dated 3 September 2011)
and I came across a few typos to report:

 > 2. The Flexbox Box Model
[...]
 > The flexbox layout algorithm works is agnostic as to the physical
 > direction the flexbox happens to be laid out in

s/works is/is/

 > 2.1. New values for ‘display’ property
[...]
 > Setting ‘display:flexbox’ on an element forces it to use a new layout
 > algorithm, and so some properties that were designed with the
 > assumption of block layout don't make sense in a flexbox context.

The first line of this paragraph should probably mention (or be 
inclusive of) _both_ 'display:flexbox' _and_ 'inline-flexbox'.  (Maybe 
that's implied though (?))

 > A flexbox item creates a new flexbox formatting context for its contents.
 > [...] the flexbox's margins do not collapse with any other margin.

I think this is meant to say "the _flexbox items'_ margins do not 
collapse", right?  (I'm making that assumption since the spec is 
describing conditions for the flexbox's _contents_ here, and also 
because the flexbox itself is supposed to behave like a block as far as 
its external container is concerned, which I'd imagine would include 
margin-collapsing...? Not sure though.)

 > 5.1. Main Axis Alignment: the ‘flex-pack’ property
[...]
 > The ‘flex-pack’ property aligns flexbox items in the main axis of the
 > current line of the flexbox. This is done after any flexible lengths 
[...]

Here, the word "after" (in "This is done after") is mistakenly linkified 
to #flex-align-after, in the spec HTML.

 > 5.2. Cross Axis Alignment: the ‘flex-align’ property
[...]
 > Value: 	start | end | center | baseline | stretch
[...]
 > [definitions of values' meaning, including "before",
 > "after", "middle", "baseline", "stretch"]

The labels "before"/"after"/"middle" in the value definitions here don't 
match the labels in the "Values:" line.

Thanks,
~Daniel
