Daniel Holbert brought up the issue of 'overflow: scroll' on a flex container whose flex direction is reversed. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Jul/0380.html The overflowing content is not reachable by scrolling because browsers restrict scrolling in the start and end directions. I think the right solution is actually to tie the scrolling direction and initial scroll position to the alignment properties align-content and justify-content. By default this will give the same results as dholbert's suggestion, but it will also do the right thing in non-default alignments, and also solve the same problem for other layout modes. (Note that we don't currently define anywhere that overflow in the start directions is inaccessible. It's just a thing that browsers do, afaik.) ~fantasai
