Comment #11 on issue 2605 by soapergem: javascript associative  
array's 'numerical' keys are not in order
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2605

jhaas: That's a terrible cop-out answer. There are plenty of things I could  
come up
with that are not part of the spec, but are done anyway for consistency  
with other
browsers. For example, where in any spec is there mention of "innerHTML"?  
The fact is
that every other browser out there maintains some order for the sake of  
convenience,
so by doing things differently here Chrome becomes the problem child to  
which we have
to accommodate. And don't forget: ordered objects are a subset of unordered  
objects--
in other words, given any ordered object, you can claim that it is  
unordered, but not
the other way around. So you could order things and still "claim" that  
they're
unordered and up to spec. And then everyone would be happy.
