Shlama,
While I agree that a logical order, rather than literal order would be helpful, that method can also cause some confusion for new comers to Peshitta. Perhaps a companion handbook that would have such a text would be more appropriate.
Another thing to bear in mind, and somewhat related to the discussion, if you will, is the issue of patents on design and layout. I have no idea how MARI translation and design/layout is going to be, but in researching the best layout for an interlinear for myself, I found that one is actually patented! <!-- s:rockedover: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/rockdover.gif" alt=":rockedover:" title="Rocked Over" /><!-- s:rockedover: -->
