That is a good question as it would have to be guaranteed for anyone to 
rely on this.

We don't require this. Even if the notification ordering is guaranteed 
it isn't useful because the completion notifications are handled 
concurrently. FYI, in our implementation we simply map the address of 
the OVERLAPPED structure back to the request.

Absolutely!
