> max-width applies to both hypothetical size and used size.

Yes this is correct and IE/Firefox do this, but where does the spec say that max-width should apply to flex base size? This is where the calculations differ, IE/FF do not take this into account when calculating the base sizes, only upon flexing.

Thanks,
