Re: FHIR RDF element ordering

I think it's problematic to make a decision just based on this document -
it focuses on what the instances look like as opposed to how easy it is to
do anything with the data.  Primary use-cases include:
- Query to be able to return the elements in the correct order (to use when
converting to XML/canonical)
- Query to return the first element in a list
- Query data within the list without regard to the list semantics.  I.e.
Just find me a coding that matches x, ignoring order

Aesthetically, I agree w/ Keith that option 3 seems cleaner.  However, it
was my understanding that option 3 made query more challenging.
