While I see the reasons behind just adding an order property, I agree with Eric that if you want to have an ordering use an array - maps rarely have an order regardless of the language. This is about adding a "new" format, so both client and server needs to implement this - therefore I think we're really free to do the right thing. I don't see the need that the enhanced format is nearly the same as the old one.
