John, there was some related discussion in this earlier thread:
http://lists.geojson.org/pipermail/geojson-geojson.org/2007-October/000278.html
I don't think any consensus was ever reached, and the ordering of
polygon vertices is not mentioned in the current draft 6, for better
or worse (depending on your perspective).
