This seems quite clear, for what it's worth. First you do the fixup for table stuff, then you figure out what your flex items are, then you update the computed display values of flex items... The biggest problem here is that this makes computed display depend on the box tree in some sense, but you can actually statically determine at computed style time what the box tree will be for purposes of this stuff. I do agree it might be even clearer to say that no computed display coercion happens on internal table display types, though. -Boris
