I can't imagine someone seriously complaining about that, especially if we keep a "Rationale" up front in its official place.  Especially since SRFI-26 was accepted that that order.

An excellent reason to move it.

Okay, I'll split up the rationale; nearly all is design rationale, which will now be below the specification.
