do all the tooltalk clients in a scope get the messages in the same
order?  i.e., if two different clients generate a message each, at
approximately the same time, will all the clients in the scope get
the two messages in the same order?  i'm presuming that if the two
messages were generated by the SAME client, the messages would be
received by all clients in the same order.  if the message ordering
is consistent, is the serialization done at the ttdbserver (for file
scoped messages) and the ttsession (for session scoped messages)? or
is another method used for guaranteeing ordering?
