Re: Dependency management (again)

/ Alessandro Vernet <avernet@orbeon.com> was heard to say:

I think it should be implementation dependent. If the steps didn't
have side effects, the order wouldn't matter. In V1, I'm content to
abdicate responsibility for side effects.

Implementations that want to offer synchronization control can do it
with extension attributes or elements. If, at some point in the
future, we determine that one or another implementation got it right,
we can come back and standardize that in V.next.
