Hi Evan,

Even though I think "be liberal in what you accept" has been sort of harmful, I've always felt that the ordering of RRsets in a message should not matter at all.

Also I worry that once we start clarifying ordering for the case you've proposed, we'll find a lot of other cases where ordering could be made to matter.  CNAME and its target, for example.  SRV and its target(s).  RRSIGs and the records they cover.  NSEC* enclosers.  And so on.
