If the ordering of paragraphs were supposed to have some special 
significance, there would be further information about such a specific 
order. In this case a lack of evidence points to no importance in the 
order of paragraphs.

Thus the following HTML documents may be rendered identically by a 
conforming browser, right?

	<title>Document one</title>
	<p>one</p>
	<p>two</p>

	<title>Document two</title>
	<p>two</p>
	<p>one</p>

The order of the paragraphs doesn't have a "special significance", yet the 
paragraphs do have an inherent order. Similarly, the order of class names 
within a class attribute don't have a special significance attached to 
them by the HTML spec, but they do still have an inherent order.
