Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display-4] reading-flow and mix of auto-flow and explicit items (#11208)

Reviewed the questions with @jensimmons and @cookiecrook today...

- 1a) Yes, we think `reading-order` should work even if you don't use `reading-flow` to reorder everything visually. An author may want to use `reading-order` to adjust the order of a few items without changing the order of everything else, so this ability should not require switching everything into visual order.
- 1b) Yes, we think `reading-order` should work even without a second opt-in from the container. Authors will expect it to Just Work, and forgetting to set `reading-flow` on the container is likely to be a source of mistakes that don't get caught.
- 1c) To address this forwards-compat concern, we think we should define `reading-order` to work on block-level boxes right now; and to work on inlines never. Use cases for block-level reordering include fixup of image-over-headline source order, and also fixup of weird source order choices due to desired float rendering.
