> Another case is in round trip processing of JSON or YML.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't see how or why an unordered 
comparison would help you with round-tripping JSON or YAML.

The order of key:value pairs in JSON is not guaranteed to be preserved, 
so if you round-trip a dict to JSON back to a dict, and then use an 
ordered comparison, you might wrongly think that they are unequal.

(I think that Python's JSON does preserve order, by default. But other 
JSON encoders might not.)

> Other cases are where you would prefer an OrderedDict over a dict. 

Then use an OrderedDict.
