Actually, I take that back; I think it's talking about the box tree after doing stuff like box fix-up and (in the past) run-in, not about gratuitous visual reordering. So since painting in visual order for flex items is a departure from Appendix E, it would be necessary to add a bolt-on to Appendix E in css3-flexbox, saying something like: | For the purposes of applying the painting algorithm specified in | CSS21 Appendix E, the 'order' property applied to flex items is | regarded as moving boxes in the rendering tree.
