=== Problem Statement ===

Do flex items form a pseudo-stacking context (stacking container)?

=== Proposal(s) ===

  ; Proposal A : No, they behave like blocks and table cells
  ; Proposal B : Yes, and they're painted at the same layer as inline blocks.
  ; Other Options : Yes, and they're painted at [some other] layer.
