Uhm... the fact that two things exist does not necessarily mean that a
container capable of effectively carrying them both -cannot- exist.
But that's just a sophism, I understand your argument and take your
word for it. I guess as long as flexboxes can be contained in a
cssboxes and viceversa we can all be pretty happy campers. =) I wonder
if that's already possible...

Given a box with a defined orientation, I wouldn't have thought so!
Can you give me a simple example of flexboxes where height and width
interdependent? I can only make cases where once the direction is
established (i.e. using an hbox or a vbox) everything flows sort of
intuitively from there.

=?
