It means that the wording now matches the intent. | |

As far as I know, d&d specifically points out that all actions in combat happen "simultaneously". That said, from someone reading an action perspective, he would be the "first" in the initiative count. That might help out. | |

The rules you quote don't say anything about the definition of a round, and don't interact with readied actions, either. A readied action uses a reaction, sure, but that doesn't seem to have any bearing on the "later this round" stipulation. | |
