[css-display] Should the inner model of `table-cell` and `table-caption` be `flow-root`?

Hi there, I hope I have understood CSS Display and CSS2.1 properly, here I propose a clarification.

CSS 2 [1] says
> block containers (such as inline-blocks, table-cells, and table-captions) that are
> not block boxes [...] establish new block formatting contexts for their contents.

The WD already says `inline-block` has a `flow-root` inner model, but `table-cell` and `table-caption` only have `flow`.

It's not wrong, because the definition of `flow` [2] says it may generate a BFC, and refers to CSS2.1

But I think it would be better to directly say that `table-cell` and `table-caption` have `flow-root ` inner model.

And I think that in the table of display values [3] there is a missing hyphen in `inline list-item`, it should be `inline-list-item` instead, shouldn't it?
