Would Gecko run scripts without the "ordered" property as soon as they were ready? Wouldn't that break the sites that are using the existing version of labjs? I guess I don't see the connection between the first part of Henri's message, where he talks about legacy UA-sniffing code that's blocking him from implementing something in the spec, and the second part of Henri's message, where he proposes a new feature to make new code more awesome.
