Hello

It seems that white-space: nowrap is ignored when used in a div with 
flex-shrink: 0 in a flex-wrap: wrap container (with display: flex). 
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/W7g3U/1/. Does the spec allow for 
precedence to be given to wrapping (I want the whitespace to wrap before 
the flexbox, but then the flexbox to wrap if the text with white-space: 
nowrap).

Could someone point me to the relavent part of the specification? Can I 
achieve what I am aiming to?

Best
Rich
