Sorry, this is unclear in the spec.  The intention is that you process
the stops first, then interpolate the processed positions.  I think
this then requires you to do step 2 of the fixup *again*, as I believe
the stops can get misordered during the transition.

I think we should swap steps 2 and 3 of the fixup, define that step 1,
(current) 3, and 4 are done at computed-value time, and then (current)
step 2 is done at used-value time as a final fixup step.
