I tend to like this option too.

Since flexbox is a CSS feature, whether its corresponding visual order should affect tab order could probably be controlled explicitly via some CSS property like `tab-order`.
For example, `tab-order` could have following possible values:
* `tree` (or `normal`) -- used by default and means that tab order follows DOM order;
* `visual` -- means that tab order should correspond to visual order (regardless of how exactly elements are reordered -- via flexbox or by using some other CSS feature).
