      The documentation in docs/transactions.dox states:

      The commits to a particular data item must be performed in timestamp order.
      Again, this is only checked in diagnostic builds and if applications violate
      this rule, data consistency can be violated.
      

      I attach a simple python unit test that illustrates this is not being checked in a diagnostic build.

      The code should be brought in line with the documentation.
