Description Tab Atkins Jr. 2012-04-17 00:56:43 UTC 
fantasai suggests renaming the alignment properties so that they're more generic, and can be shared with other layout modes.

flex-align => content-align
flex-item-align => box-align
flex-line-pack => content-pack
flex-pack => content-justify
(+ a box-justify property that does nothing for Flexbox, but works for Grid)
