probably because I came into the conversation late and hadn't realized you
wanted to generate N of a potentially infinite set.

obviously if not Infinite and less than N then tool just generates complete set,
returns info that complete set has been generated.

that seems like a suitable ordering, what could others be. 

how about namespace usage, that is to say do not start generating instances with
namespace Y until all possible instances comprised only of Namespace X without Y
is satisfied. Obviously if Y is mandatory then this ordering is achieved at
beginning. 

Points to possible multiple orderings.
