This is untrue. Events are defined by the standards in terms of delegates,
specifically with the default add_ and remove_ events invoking the delegate
add & remove operations, and delegate add & remove operations guarantee the
order of tems in the invocation list.

See page 378 of:

http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-334.pdf

(the page is labelled "358", but, at least in my PDF viewer, it is the
378th page, and the 2nd page after the 22.1 section header)
