This is what I remember as well. We decided that output messages
should be ordered such that their cycle stamps would be seen as
monotonically increasing. Ordering within the same cycle stamp
is undefined, i.e., up to the implementation. This is how I remember
what we decided.

Actually, those paragraphs are to be removed since we decided to
remove port priorities. We may have to add a section somewhere
explaining the cycle stamp based ordering.
