In this case, the sender should be sending the off before the on, and a
stable sort is still correct.

I'm not saying a stable sort is ALWAYS right - if you have multiple
senders to one receiver, you can't guarantee to get it right, since that
involves actual meaning and intent.

The best we can do is provide a fixed guideline for expected behavior.
And I think that it makes sense to say that events are sorted in timestamp
order, with events for the same timestamp sorted by the order received.
If this is wrong for a plugin, the plugin should handle it internally.
