[csswg-drafts] [css-display-4] Should the reading-order-items property apply to tables in addition to flex and grid layouts? (#9922)

rachelandrew has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-display-4] Should the reading-order-items property apply to tables in addition to flex and grid layouts? ==
We resolved that the new reading order spec should only apply to flex and grid layouts. In the comments on the PR @bradkemper proposes to include tables.

Opening this issue to capture this discussion outside of comments on a PR, and to ask the WG for thoughts. From the [comments on the PR](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/9845#issuecomment-1915392860):

> "Have this new property apply to tables in the same way it applies to grid. They are very similar visually, and the end user doesn’t care what display type was used to achieve the grid of rows and columns they are looking at. It would be weird if you could make the reading order better for grid in rtl or vertical writing, or to be able to read down columns first, but not for table. One type of reading behavior for a visual grid generated one way but not the other means unpredictable behavior for the user."

I've not seen any requests for this type of behavior from authors as far as tables are concerned.
