Well you could, but it's somewhat lame.  I think it would be nicer
either to preserve the order of the quantifiers by doing something
which would invert them, or to make it have its own selma'o so it
would only be allowed in the rule for terms formed from tag+sumti.

Either way it's definitely not a pressing concern that is worth
violating the baseline over: it seems to make sense that things
should still go left to right for terms made from tag+sumti, and
it can always be overidden with a prenex.
