Method to return the sequence value of the contribution. Meant to be overridden.

! This method must return a value for which the equality and greater than operators are defined. The sequence values must be common amoungst all contributors such that a if a contribution's sequence value is equal to another contributions sequence value, the two contributions belong together as part of the same event. A contribution A's sequence value that is greater than another contribution B's sequence value is interpreted to mean that A is newer than B. This information is used to flush out partially built older events.
