Perhaps the copy and delete should be combined into moves. So instead
of:

   alter(.)
   alter(A/B)
   alter(X/Y)
   rotate(A, X/Y/Z)
   rotate(X, A/B/C)
   alter(A) (pre-rotate X/Y/Z)
   copy(A/B)
   alter(X) (pre-rotate A/B/X)
   copy(X/Y)
   alter(A/B/C) (pre-rotate X)
   delete(A/B/C/Y)
   alter(X/Y/Z) (pre-rotate A)
   delete(X/Y/Z/B)

we have:

   alter(.)
   alter(A/B)
   alter(X/Y)
   rotate(A, X/Y/Z)
   rotate(X, A/B/C)
   alter(A) (pre-rotate X/Y/Z)
   alter(X/Y/Z) (pre-rotate A)
   move(X/Y/Z/B, A/B)
   alter(X) (pre-rotate A/B/X)
   alter(A/B/C) (pre-rotate X)
   move(A/B/C/Y, X/Y)

And we still have the problem that the receiver cannot process the
earlier rotates and moves until the final move is received.
