There is one noticeable change here to clients: if they download such an 
ordered relation, and upload a newer version, they should have kept the 
ordering intact.

The current unordered relations mean that a client can store it locally 
however it likes, and upload it in a completely different order, and it 
won't make one iota of difference to anyone. That assumption would 
become invalid.
