The proposed patch introduces the possibility for client wikis to fall back to some remotely defined property order, by providing a URL from which that order can be loaded, encoded as wikitext.
But what URL will that be? An obvious choice would be https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikibase-SortedProperties?action="">. But the action="" interface is deprecated iirc. And it will not work for content models other than wikitext, so it can't be used if we decide to migrate the property order to a json based format, for example.
Using the regular web API would be preferable, but then the response would be wrapped in a JSON envelope, which HttpUrlPropertyOrderProvider would have to know about. It would then be a MediaWikiApiPropertyOrderProvider I suppose.
