Interesting question.  I don't ever recall anyone suggesting that the
answers would be reordered, so regardless of what close textual
interpretation of the specs might reveal, if you don't answer the
questions in the order they were asked, you'll be sorry.

If clients really don't care what order they get the responses, they
can always use multiple connections.
