Well, the issue is that if, say with the above example, signer #3 signs the other three signature headers, and then the next hop re-orders them, the verifier can still figure out which records signed which others.

So what?

There are many "interesting" things that we might build into a protocol.

The question is what compelling need is served by the feature?

Each feature makes the protocol more complex and therefore raises the adoption barrier.

So we should feel obligated to explain why a feature offers long-term, strategic benefits.
