I think that's not particularly clear > in the current spec (though it makes intuitive sense). In particular, I think the spec uses "main size" a bit vaguely right now. In many places, "main size" refers to the content-box -- but the flexbox algorithm section seems to use it to refer to the margin-box. I think we need to be explicit when we use this term to refer to the margin-box. For example: the following text (from Flexbox Layout Algorithm, step 4.2) probably wants to say something like "sum of their margin-box main sizes" instead of "sum of their main sizes": {{ Collect as many consecutive flexbox items as possible, starting from the first item, while keeping the sum of their main size smaller than the flexbox's available space. }} ~Daniel
