Re: [QB] ISSUE-29 Well-formedness

Hi Richard,

Still working through the details of this.

I have some questions over:

Do you regard qb:order as mandatory?

In the current text we say "may be ordered by ..." so I have always 
regarded this as optional. Which makes this check odd.

In other applications where I have an ordering predicate I've generally 
found it preferable to allow orderings to be sparse, makes them easier 
to manage.

I'd like to propose that the only well-formedness check on qb:order be 
that they must be integers (which is already implied by the datatype 
checking).
