I agree with most points made in this thread.

As Alex said, its really important that if a user goes offline and types
something, their blip shouldn't appear in the middle of a wave. The decision
of which way around the insertions happen is arbitrary from an OT
standpoint, but its not arbitrary for users. Even leaving aside the google
wave data model specific problems, when the same thing happens with text it
feels wonky.

I support the proposal, because little UX problems are important.

But I also expect this won't be the last change to the protocol. Changing
stuff like this will only become more of a headache (and have more pushback)
until protocol versions are implemented.
