when using -webkit-box-direction: reverse, the author's intended tab order would be to match the visual appearance approximately 99.8% of the time. It defeats the purpose of having -webkit-box-direction if it doesn't work properly, indeed for chrome://settings we have used javascript to hack around this and we don't use the property at all. However doing this for every reversible set of widgets on every chrome:// page (or more generically, on every page on the web) is unwieldy and, in practice, just doesn't happen because this problem is likely to go unnoticed.

Ojan's generic solution is nice (also reminiscent of the latest xkcd), but again, it's a lot of extra work when you consider it's something you want every single time. However his suggestion would likely solve the tangential problem that it's impossible to make a hierarchy of divs unfocusable by changing the tabindex of its root.
