Can the order in which properties are read be more comprehensible?

[gibson042]

tc39/proposal-intl-numberformat-v3#122 pointed out some issues with the order in which NumberFormat reads and reports fields, but those issues exist across ECMA-402 (e.g., #709 (comment) ). We should strive to determine and document guidelines, also changing existing facilities if web-compatible.

Conclusion:

• Pursue guidelines and spec patterns that can be easily checked against the guidelines
• Backport those patterns in editorial changes to existing APIs
• Consider normative changes to existing APIs
