A comment on adjective order

The information should be the same whether adjectives are given in the "correct" order or not. So, in principle ((X_/A)_/B) should be the same, if A and B are reversed.

Off hand, the reversibility of the order is theoretical. Getting it wrong is so awkward it suggests (sticking with the letter choices) that B sets an attribute of X_/A which was not available in X alone; and that A has no such attribute to set in X_/B.
