However, there are use cases where the element is not needed as part of the redirected flow but its content only. I'm proposing that we achieve this by extending the current '<ident>' value with an additional, conditional 'content-only' value. In other words, the 'flow-into' property values will be changed to:  [<ident> content-only?] | none | inherit.

Otherwise I can see cases where the element is placed in a flow A and then a different rule places its content into a flow B... would flow A have the element only or its content duplicated as well etc..?

Alternately, rather than special-casing Regions here, we can just use
the "display-box: contents" value in the Display draft.  Same effect,
but more general.
