No, not in this case. “align-items” and “align-self” apply only in the 
cross-axis direction. In the case of `flex-flow:column` that is the horizontal 
axis.

The example in the spec is quite clear, I think.

Hmm… Float is a completely different kind of layout model then flex. Can’t 
really imagine how the two can co-exist. Margins on the other hand are not a 
layout model, but a spacing thing that eventually affect  overall layout. Fun 
things to be had with `margin: auto 1em` assuming `flex-flow: row` ( I solved 
some edgy problem with that today).
