I won't argue strongly for either solution, but have the deep-seating
(but vague) feeling that a left to right resolution algorithm is easier
to explain, hence to understand, hence to predict, hence to use. An
extra pass will solve the edge case you describe in perhaps a "better"
order.

I do think that the two algorithms under discussion are better than what
we've had in the past. Comments from others?
