You can order it's content by alphabetical order, as long as there's a table of content and/or an index, I'm not sure it has to have an explicit order. It certainly helps if you want to print it out, but otherwise, there's nothing disturbing to me about the idea of a non ordered encyclopedia. I do agree we're kind of splitting hairs here, since even for publications where the order doesn't really matter, I have a hard time thinking of a publication where it would not be possible to order things even if that's not particularly meaningful. > Here's a possible rewording of the sentence in question, which is a > little less aggressive about ordering being primary: > > "A Web Publication must provide a default ordering of the primary > constituent resources, although that order may be changed by user > interaction or scripting." I think it is a better indeed. —Florian
