+Percentages In 'gap' Properties</h3>
+
+	In general,
+	gaps introduced by the 'gap' properties
+	are intended to act like an empty item/track/etc
+	with the gap's size;
+	in other words,
+	an author should be able to reproduce the effects of 'gap'
+	by just inserting additional empty items/tracks/etc
+	into the container.
+
+	'gap' always resolves percentages against
+	the corresponding size of the [=content box=]
+	of the element.
+	When this size is definite,
+	the behavior is well-defined
+	and consistent across layout modes.
+	But since different layout modes treat [=cyclic percentages=] for items/tracks/etc differently,
+	'gap' does as well:
