Stephen,

At the call today we decided to explicitly leave requests within a 
compound request as unordered.  That is, a server is free to respond to 
the requests in any order.  If sequencing is important to a client, it 
should make multiple synchronous requests, for example.

We couldn't understand a good use case that justified the additional 
implementation burden on servers.
