Consider three nodes A, B and C where

I think it is the responsibility of the application to write sane
validation functions. Also, I don't see how the order of incoming
replications to C matters. Maybe you can spell it out for me.
If A -> C happens first then C will have the validation function F and
it will reject the document from B that is invalid under F. If B -> C
happens first the document sneaks in without validating.
