The spec currently says: "If multiple nodes are inserted before or after in the
same snapshot, the ordering among these nodes is implementation-dependent."

There are two such cases:
==> do insert (a,b,c) before d should preserve order of a b c

(do insert a before d), (do insert b before d) should be
implementation-dependent.

If implementation environment such as XML views over relational data models
cannot preserve the order in the first case, they already have other order
related issues and should deal with them in general and not just for insert.
