No, you're right. This adds elements incrementally from the first-occurring to the last (in rendering order), and it would be good to have more control over the sequence. That would involve some changes to the specification, but could be done. Shall I move that test out of the suite, pending further discussion of the approach? There's no urgency, and it would be good to explore the possibilities further. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced > analytics on semi-structured data.
