RE: CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1

How is accessibility being addressed in CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1
<http://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/> ? I did not find tabindex, focus or
navigation (through the grid) mentioned in the document, nor did I find any
notes about accessibility. Does the PF working group need to raise these
issues or is CSS already working through them now? If CSS knows how tab
order is effected, it would be nice to have a note about accessibility in
the document for those of us concerned about it but unaware of how it is
being handled.



On the basis that tab order is dependent on DOM order, would the browser
rearrange the DOM and/or accessibility tree order based on the CSS grid
layout (as happens with flexbox)?
