So, yeah, > I think dropping the "box" is a good idea. I'm not a fan of "display: flex" -- it sounds to me like it's saying "this element is flexible". I think we're explicitly trying to avoid giving that impression. (since it's the _kids_ that are flexible) It would also be a little odd / counterintuitive that the "flex" property would have no effect on an element with "display:flex", in usual circumstances. 'display: flex-group' sounds better to me. ~Daniel
