RE: [css-flexbox] IE's flexbox bug & unsufficiently clear spec

According to your reading of the spec [1] IE was the only browser matching the spec because he capped the absolute flexbox at 100vw for the purposes of flexing.

However, we learnt here that Spartan will revert to the Chrome's behavior [2], which is to refuse to cap an absolutely positioned flexbox at 100vw. To be honest this is the behavior that was intuitive to me.

This means we now have 3-render-engines interoperability on a behavior which you claimed isn't what the spec says. That's why I think we should clarify explicitly the behavior of absolutely positioned flexboxes in the spec (possibly as an informal note), and not rely on the indirect interaction of multiple other specs; that can be confusing.
