As brought up by @emilio during the WHATNOT meeting, elements that have CSS position: absolute do not participate in the grid/flex layout. Its focus navigation order is hence unclear, similar to the display: contents case (https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10533).
For elements that are not included in the flex/grid layout such as position: absolute, we propose visiting them at the end of the reading flow, in DOM order.
What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

The proposal for reading-flow focus navigation should handle this case.
