Currently also not guaranteed with relations. My extra suggestion having 
an index will guarantee sequence.

Why would this be an issue? Is it convenient to have nodes, ways, 
relations?  Ways would be a subset of relations if you want to order it 
by type :) that is fairly trivial.

We are not the ClosedStreetMap group. The that was used to make MonetDB 
running is based on planet-to-osm.pl. And the code that I produced 
already was send to the other teaming working on the MySQL variant.

But if you would like to see code in SVN ;) Lets figure something out 
how to get it there. But this moves the discussion from theoretical to 
technical.
