± 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.
