Bug 87068 – Replaced items in a flexbox should be coerced to display:block

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Ojan Vafai]

As per the new spec. It actually hardcodes tagnames that should be coerced to display:block when they are in a flexbox.

It also says "An atomic inline-level child of a flex container" should be a flex-item. I'm not really sure what that refers to since it's a different item than the replaced items and the spec refers to button as an atomic inline-level child. Tab, can you clarify?

[Tab Atkins Jr.]

"atomic inline" refers to things that are inline-level, but lay out as a single thing: inline-block, inline-table, inline replaced, etc.

All the hardcoded tag names should have already been flexbox items, since they all fall under the "replaced element" umbrella - the new entry with hardcoded names is just meant to cover the odd case where an element can be replaced or not depending on whether a link resolves.

This should probably include a link to the spec.

Nit: should the attribute name be data-expected-display?

I didn't want to include a link to the working draft in code. Once it's finalized or CR stage, it would probably be OK.
