Tony: The results are not currently sequenced other than the ORDERBY clause
given in a VQUERY. If we wanted to further "order" them, what would we
sequence them by?

If you say you want 20 results, then I think the CS should return the first,
implementation-dependent 20 results. After that, if you ask for 20 more, you
get up to 20 more, but in an implementation and session-dependent sequence,
beyond that prescribed by any ORDERBY VQUERY clause.

Is this okay with everyone?
