      Section 4.6 (Messaging Ordering) has exceptions for shared subs. In particular the conformance clause labelled MQTT-4.6.0-7 in WD11 should not apply to shared subscriptions.

      Section 4.8.2 (Shared Subscriptions) should have clear words that ordering requirements do not apply to these subscriptions (and perhaps have a non-normative example like the one in the description).

      At the moment, the spec makes no exception for ordering for shared subscriptions. I think the TC has agreed that the ordering requirements do not apply to shared subscriptions but that is not reflected in WD11 as far as I can see.

      (For one example of non-ordering, consider a shared subscription with two clients receiving messages as QoS=1. Client A receives message 1 (but does not ack it). Client B receives messages 2 & 3 and acks them. Client A's session then expires. I think we want servers to be able to deliver message 1 to Client B).
