This should correctly fix various stacking context order bugs we have. The main issues was I was misinterpreting the [paint order spec](https://www.w3.org/Style/css2-updates/css2/zindex.html) and conflating "non-positioned" and "positioned" elements as being sorted in different layers. However the spec seems to imply that these should be sorted together. I also didn't realize that the pseudo stack replacement in step #8 applied to both stacking contexts _and_ positioned elements.
