Build Identifier: 

in flexbox grids, every box of a set of columns or rows obtains a same common min-max-width-height value assigned at every box of the same set

for example: this appears like a grid, because minmax-width are forced to be the same in every column and row:

<style>
grid r x
{
min-width:5px;
max-width:200px;
}
</style>

<grid>
<r><x>________</x><x flex="1">_________</x><x>____________</x></r>
<r><x>____</x><x flex="1">____</x><x>____</x></r>
</grid>

so in the standardized flexbox, why not provide a way to force a group of box to have the same dimensions?

for example

grid > columns > column > box
{
     width-group:elements(grid > columns > column > box);
}

means that min-width and max-width are overridden with a common value that matches every box

in plus with classic flexbox grid i can not create nested-level grids that matching the same columns and rows sizes (for example xul's <tree>)
with this solution i think yes

i really hope to have suggested a implementable thing

thank you for your time :)

Are you proposing a spec change? Then please contact the CSSWG (http://csswg.org/). 

Also, the spec has changed a lot since you filed the bug, so you may want to revisit your suggestion before submitting a new request. 

This bug is INVALID, then.
