:ordered and :unordered task lists

[ko56]

In reading sec. 4.9 of the manual, I realized that I am not clear whether a task list is ordered or unordered by default, i.e. when neither :ordered nor :unordered is specified. The fact that :unordered has to be specified explicitly whereas :ordered is optional seems to indicate that :ordered is the default. Is this correct?

Yes, that is correct.

Honestly, I regret the optionality of :ordered -- it makes parsing task networks much more complex and error-prone. There's a lot of "look at the first element and if it's a list ..." kind of stuff.j

Thanks. I suggest that this be clarified in the manual.
Since I don't have a lot of SHOP3 code to maintain, I would not be opposed
to making it mandatory :-)
