But ordering *is* important whether a specific order is prescribed or
not. The same ordering has to be used when the signature is generated
and when it is checked.

If it's not a MUST, then it doesn't clarify or simplify the procedure,
because it could still be any order.

Again, I don't care very much about making this change. Unless David
stands up for it, I'm going to drop it.
