It looks like there were independent `display-inside/outside` properties, with `display` being a "one property that sets multiple properties" shorthand, in the first draft of the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-css-display-3-20140911/#the-di... --- But that has since been changed to `display` being a "one property that takes multiple values" shorthand, in the current version of the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-css-display-3-20150721/#change... > Changes since the 11 September 2014 Working Draft include: > Removed `display-inside`, `display-outside`, and `display-extras` longhands, in favor of just making `display` multi-value.

ight. It's not even on caniuse yet (vote here: https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/issues/2337). But I'm stoked to even see these orthogonal axes and their domains officially laid out, and names given to concepts. Even just `display-inside` vs `display-outside`. I've had discussions with professionals where no one was certain enough about the `display` mess to make any confident statements on the exact nature of the similarity between `flex` and `block`. Who knew if there were edge cases that made them not have (what I now have the words to describe as) the same `display-outside` behaviour? Thanks also to the crazy muddle of just-slightly-different behaviour the proliferation of other display options has scarred us all with, previously all sharing a single, very arbitrary-seeming, axis.
