Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-5] What order to use for the "index of usage" for the default random() keys? (#13337)

@tabatkins and I agree with using the order-of-appearance in the original string (not the serialized value), for two reasons:
    - It makes sure that we never normalize two of these together before we index them.
    - It protects us against additional compat pressure if we ever need to change the specified-value serialization order of a property (for example, to ensure consistency across implementations or across related properties).

Proposal: "index of usage" is in order of appearance of the author's original input, not normalized e.g. for serialization. (Matching WebKit, and we *think* what @tursunova is describing.)
