Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display-4] Define 'reading-order: auto' #7387 (#8257)

> One of my goals here was to make it impossible for an author to apply `* { use-layout-order-as-speech-order }` and thereby convince themselves that a) they don't need to manage source order correctly and b) they've solved accessibility properly for the whole page. 

I get that, however it does seem odd to be making people do more work just in case they do something bad. Having `reading-order: <integer>` is only useful in those cases where the developer doesn't want the document order OR the grid/flex-modified order. I can't think of any good cases for that, so we are adding this additional complexity purely to make it harder for developers to do a thing they want to do. Do we do this anywhere else?

I think it would be worth bringing this issue back to the WG, my comment above and @fantasai's response explain the issue reasonably well I think.
