This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Apr/0225.html The spec currently does baseline-alignment by deferring to the display type of the flexbox item. Should it instead define its own algorithm for determining the baseline, like table cells do?
Due to apathy, no change. Leaving the spec as it is, where flexbox defers to the display type of the item to tell it what the item's baseline is.
