Reassure me that the time stamp is sufficiently granular that the revision ID
is NEVER needed as a tie breaker, which is what I was referring to.  Clearly,
if page ID was the only method of determining order, things would be horribly
broken, equally clearly they are not, so my assumption was that the time stamp
was at least primarily used.  This was all implicit in my statement "to
determine where (if anywhere)" was the request above. Does the time stamp
suffice everywhere?  And of course determining this may not be trivial, since
the source of the time stamp needs to be taken into account, even two machines
running from the same local ntp service will generate a percentage of
out-of-order timestamps, depending on the granularity.
