Not quite. The entire reason that 'flex-align' (current name) exists
is so that you can align the *anonymous* flexbox items that might be
created. It also happens to be convenient to use when you're going to
align all/most of the children in a particular way, but that's just a
side benefit. Without the anonymous flexbox items, we could get away
with just having you set flex-item-align on the children explicitly.
