Per our action item last week, we've defined the static position of abspos flex items consistently with how they're handled in block and inline flow: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-flexbox/#abspos-items http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jul/0605.html (minutes) The WG just tasked us with defining it according to the resolutions, so please give feedback. In particular, we'd appreciate implementors (Alex, Daniel, Morten) reviewing the proposed text. The solution we came up with is more-or-less Proposal D in the wiki <http://wiki.csswg.org/topics/flex-abspos-placeholders>, with the edge cases fully specified. We ended up not using the concept of a "placeholder" at all here - instead, the abspos item just participates in flex layout through the 'order' step, and then is ignored for the rest of flex layout. This implies that 'order' applies to the abspos. We can explicitly disallow this, but based on Brad Kemper's comments <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jul/0628.html>, we think the WG should revisit this decision. (My objection to having 'order' apply during the call was about having it apply *to the placeholder*. I'm in favor of it applying to the abspos itself.) In summary, all we're asking to do on the call is: 1. See if anyone objects to the current text. 2. Reverse the resolution about 'order' from last week. ~TJ
