Re: [css3-flexbox] Should "align-self:stretch" have any effect on main-size? (i.e. should stretched cross-size be used for establishing main size?)

Tab/fantasai: I'm still interested to hear back on this, and whether my
spec-change proposal at the end of the initial email in this thread [1]
sounds reasonable.

Above, I've quoted my tl;dr-summary of why I think Chrome[Blink] &
Opera[Presto] *don't* match the spec on this. (much as I like the
rendering they end up with and would like to mimic it)

I have patches ready that make Gecko match the Blink/Presto rendering
[2] (by implementing my suggested spec-change), but I want to make sure
you're on board with the change before I go ahead with it.

Thanks!
