± From: Tab Atkins Jr. [mailto:jackalmage@gmail.com] ± Sent: Monday, April 16, 2012 4:34 PM ± ± The Display Value ± =============== ± ± Fantasai and Anton don't like the term "flexbox", as they think it's ± misleading, since it's really the children that are flexible - the ± container element is just a container and is not flexible in and of ± itself normally. They don't have a good suggestion for an alternate ± name, though. ± ± Ojan recommends shortening the name further to just "flex", to match the ± prefix that all the spec's properties have. I actually like "display:flex". "box" suffix is not adding much value. And it doesn't matter if it is intuitive or not -- by the time somebody learns to use it, it will just be a name that is easy to remember. Alex
