Description

The CSS Working Group has resolved to add the new reading-flow property (w3c/csswg-drafts#8589, spec) to enable focus navigation in visual order for layout items that might not be displayed in source order (such as grid, flex and masonry items). Chromium is implementing the new property and opened a whatwg/html#10407 on the needed HTML spec change.

We would like to seek Webkit's position on implementing the CSS property.

Further, we would like to get feedback on the suggested HTML proposal and the open questions on display: contents (w3c/csswg-drafts#9230, whatwg/html#10533).

Hi! This request has been opened half a year now and the shape of the new API is well defined in CSS Display 4. The focus behavior is also extensively explained in a html spec PR. We would appreciate if you could give your position/support and feedbacks. Thanks.
