'order' won the poll by a wide margin.  I'd like to not reconsider it.

Whether it affects tab-order is an interesting question.  I'd be okay
with either answer.

It definitely takes effect in speech media - that should be reading
off the box tree, more or less, and 'order' should be manipulating the
box tree.

I assume by z-order you mean painting order (your term is correct, I'm
just being precise).  The spec currently says 'no'.  I'd prefer it to
say 'yes'.
