Paul,

Is the fact that a story is "comfortably completed" a side-effect of
the ordering or priority in the iteration?

Iterations are in some ways just a reporting boundary, so the last
card in an iteration will often be incomplete, and if you have a
larger team, you will have multiple incomplete stories. This is
assuming that you have a constant pace, and you don't speed up or slow
down to accomodate the iteration boundary. Both speeding up and
slowing down seem like a bad idea to me.
