[OTR-users] Packet order

Is the order of packet arrival important? When implemented in a mobile
environment, say otr-over-sms, packets may arrive (slightly) out-of-order or
even lost.
Does or how does the otr protocol handle it?

If the otr protocol cannot handle out-of-order or lost packets, can it be
modified to handle these scenarios?

(Obviously we can put a reliable layer on top of plaintext sms too, but it's
a lot of work not normally needed...)
