Shouldn't justify-content be renamed to justify-items?

Hi

Can somebody lay me out the reasoning behind naming 3 Flexbox properties 
justify-content, align-items and align-content? I can't grasp the logic 
behind using terms items and content in the names the way they're used 
now.

It seems to me that align-items is complementary to justify-content, as 
both of them act on flex items - the first aligns the items along the 
cross axis and the second along the main axis. align-content on the 
contrary act on the whole lines of flex items. I can't see any 
connection between justify-content and align-content, though their names 
would suggest there is some.

And so it seems more logical for me if justify-content would be renamed 
to justify-items.

I bet Flexbox module creators had some logic behind naming the things in 
the current manner. Probably I'm only not able to recognize it. Can 
somebody explain that to me?
