Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display-4] drafting reading-order-items issue #8589 (#9845)

@tabatkins with regard to combined keywords, that's also what fantasai had suggested, and as I wrote this out the separate keywords seemed odd as they have to be used together. I think if they were to be separate we'd need to define a default if someone just used 'grid' for example. So I think hyphenating is likely better. I'll update to that.

> Maybe, then, we can just move the "just pay attention to order" value into grid: remove normal from-order, add grid order?

I think the `from-order` case is if you want everything to be the same as it would be today, so DOM order, but a small tweak to order—for instance moving an item to display first, then auto-placing everything else. But, you get that with grid-rows or grid-columns anyway.

I guess if you were placing all your items, and wanted normal ordering apart from one item with `order`, that's the only reason for `grid-order` and I don't think I can come up with a reason for `flex-order`. 

I think you are right that having it separate from the grid and flex entries makes it look like something that could apply to other layout methods.
