Other information

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 Mozilla'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).
