Yes, but your comments on this applied to section 3.

We use the message number in the reordering singleton definition.
We also agreed to keep SrcTime as a mandatory parameter, and mention
time and bytes only as secondary means to determine order.
When we discussed this in Minneapolis last year, you came to the
mic to agree with this, even where we did not implement your
comments verbatim (as with the SrcTime parameter).
A summary of comments and responses is here:
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/05mar/slides/ippm-1.pdf

We're discussing a later section here (4.5), and you expressed no objections
about using time to quantify the extent of reordering, AFAIK.
