[css-flexbox] Handling Anonymous Table Boxes from fantasai on 2015-07-17 (www-style@w3.org from July 2015)

The spec currently requires that we do box fixup before determining
flex items:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-css-flexbox-1-20150514/#flex-items
This was discussed originally in this thread:
   [1] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013May/0508.html
   [2] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Jul/0462.html

Chrome doesn't follow the spec in this case--it turns table cells into
flex items. Which, as I had pointed out [2], has the nice ability to
create a fallback rendering. The argument for not changing it was that
nobody cares. [3]

However, at least some people do care: see e.g. slide 39, which despite
the fact that it would result in layouts that only work properly in
Chrome, uses this technique:

Should we change the spec to make internal table display types just
turn themselves into flex items, instead of triggering anonymous box
generation?
