It's not as simple as "include margins in the width computation". Your problems isn't margins, it's the *loss* of margins that occurs when you have an element spanning two "cells" in your flexbox. You don't actually want margins here, you want some concept of a "gutter" and of "cells". This is fundamentally a grid concept, not a flexbox one. > Looking forward to have CSS3 Grid Layout implemented in the browsers. Hopefully it arrives in 2013. Yup, spec is nearly done, IE has an early implementation already, and Chrome should finish its implementation before the end of the year. I'm really excited about it too! ~TJ
