      Make it clearer that ITS only advises (see comment) to keep the records in chronological order but full solution to timeline would need to be external to either XLIFF or ITS.

      Description

      In "Example 18. Enriching XLIFF Documents with Provenance Annotations", the text
      below the example for the standoff notation says:

      "In this example, stacking of the individual records indicates relative time."
      And ".as well as the sequence of different
      translation tools would have been impossible if the annotation was inline only."

      This is incorrect. The Provenance data category does not expects the records to
      express a specific timeline. The ITS specification
      says (at https://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#provenance):

      ".Third, if provenance information is needed that includes temporal or sequence
      information about translation processes (e.g.
      multiple revision cycles) or requires agents that support a wider range of
      activities, the data category offers a mechanism to refer
      to external provenance information."

      The section should be revised to reflect that order of record elements does not
      express a timeline.
