That's good to know.

Ordered execution wasn't addressed in the spec, and we haven't had much
discussion about it.
I'm not even sure how to enforce ordered execution unless we rely on the
creation timestamp.

Assuming we have a way to enforce ordered execution, and if that ordering
is not using the sequence number that is generated, then does exposing that
sequence number just introduce confusion?

i.e. are we back to just showing some sort of hash / hex sequence as the id
to avoid implying an order by the sequence number?
