In context with the following sentence, what that is really trying
to say is that the spec requires us to re-order the subcommands
to eliminate forward references.  After studying the text I cannot
find any such statement.  Maybe I missed something --- there's a
lot of text --- but it's sure not to be detected in any obvious
place like 11.1 <schema definition>.

(I'd be curious to know how other major implementations handle
this.  Are we the only implementation that ever read the spec
that way?)
