+1 for me too.

Please do not hang the release for this. My strong feeling was about 
using node numbers to define the ordering of node labels. Which seems 
agreed on now. In general, I believe the ordering issue becomes less 
concerning as soon as items are named. Concerning edge matrix 
reordering, I things might be made easier if edges were named 
explicitely (e.g. by the descending node, or with smthg like 
"[ancestor]-[descendent]"). Note that such naming could also be used as 
row names of the edge matrix.

I agree with all other suggestions from Ben.
