61 Right to left merge of coincident insertions?

Status: This chapter records exploratory or unsuccessful design work and is retained for historical reference.

Can we avoid the whole concept of effective siteids and temporal index values on the insertion intervals? Consider that we instead simply make the rule that when we dual IT coincident insertions we scan right to left through the intervals with a larger siteid to find the insertion position.

This works well on examples like the following which is discussed in calculating effective siteids when applying local operations doesn't work.

Problem

Unfortunately it doesn't work. In the following example site S0 must insert the insertion from S1 before the insertions from site S2 and itself, but a right to left insertion rule would have made it produce "201" instead of "120".
