But what about the order in which those linked lists are being 
followed..? That's not specified in the language and implementation 
dependent.

(PS. of course nobody says that an implementation can't turn the linked 
lists into some other representation (like assembler). Not specifying 
the order of execution of function arguments was meant as to leave 
implementors more freedom to choose the best evaluation strategy.)
