same name sibling question

[JavaJ <po...@yahoo.com>]

What happens when you call getNodes() on a Node that has same name sibling
children?  Will it return all the same name siblings as well?  What order
would they be in?

sure, same name siblings are regular child nodes.

the relative order of same name siblings is preserved and consistent, i.e.
it is guaranteed to be same for every Node.getNodes() call (unless ot has been
explicitly changed of course).

what yu can expect regarding the absolute order of the nodes returned
by Node.getNodes() depends on the 'orderableChildNodes' flag in the
parent node's node type. for more details see section "4.4 Orderable
Child Nodes"
in the jsr 170 specification.
