Ah, I found out where <flex> is defined as a dimension which is under
"5.1. Track Sizing". I was looking at "5.1.3: Flexible Lengths" which
doesn't define the parsing.

Having all the text under a single section (e.g. "5.1.3: Flexible
Lengths" ), instead of having it split across sections, would help
avoid such confusion.
