I think this really should not be a problem. It is just a question of 
whether we talk first about the core (SOSA) and then about what comes on 
top of it (the rest of the SSN) or the other way around. After all, SOSA 
is part of SSN same as SSO was before. As we expect the core to have a 
larger user base, having it first may make sense. I am okay with both 
approaches.

But I am not entirely sure if that will be the case in the final document. There is for example the coverage ontology and the time ontology we may need and want to horizontally layer.
