should be enough. (But it all depends on what "component" means... shrug)

Ok, so I'm debating between that wording and the following:

| A unitless zero that is not already preceded by two flex factors | is interpreted as a flex factor. | To avoid misinterpretation or invalid declarations, | authors must specify such lengths with a unit or precede them by both flex ratios.

Thoughts?
