Why do you think that a close correspondence between the ordering in xml
and ui is important ? What problems does the "top" flag cause ? 

If you are interested in a stable ui order independent of the order in
which the merges happen, then removing "top" won't help. You either have
to keep different components from ever using the same container (ie
always have separate placeholders) or insert instead of append/prepend
items and keep the containers in some sorted order. 

Would you mind giving a quick explanation of the 'default' placeholder
concept ?
