Done.

We could move CSS support up to Parent, or make sense of DIV having a specific width and height (width is useful because we then wouldn't need "wrappingWidth" -- ie, they are the same thing, and it would be resizable so adding it to a layout container would perfect. But what to do about the height? If the height isn't right, do we just flow the text beyond the given height? Kind of a weird case). Or we can add CSS Background / Border support to TextFlow independent of the Region.

I thought about this a little bit yesterday, if we choose to make Div a subclass of Region we would probably remove setWrappingWidth(double) and add:
setWrapMode (none | word | character) or use CSS names (word-break, word-wrap).

As for the relationship between the width and height, the way I thought, if word wrap is requested then content bias is set to horizontal, otherwise is null.

Does that make any sense ?
as I said,  I didn't think about this very much…
