The order of the atributes can help developers
Hi,
I am using jEdit (http://www.jedit.org) like the source editor. jEdit has a
plug-in called XML-Tree. In this plug-in we can see the tree XML of tags and
There we can see the attributes of a given tag.
I think it can help better if the attribute "name" of the components will be
the first declared attribute in the sitemap. Of course if it exists ;).
This is just a question of order. I think it can help to make less errors.
Maybe will be fine to write a recomendation of how to write Cocoon files.
Regards,
Antonio Gallardo

The wonderful world of interpreting W3C specifications :-)
In what way do you see preserving or fixing attribute order being
'better', except for presentation purposes?

In a Pollo display specification, you can specify the attributes that
should be shown on the element and the order in which they should
appear. But that's view-only, I believe, since the attribute editing
pane operates on the DOM, where the order is so-called irrelevant and
thus Pollo shows them ... alfabetically. Ha! :-)
Pollo is by no means beta-quality, it's just sub-ambitious with regards
to its version numbering scheme ;-)

I know that. But for the programmers can be better. I thinked in a
"recommendation or "etiquette" nothing more. Not to rewrite the SAX
specification. ;)

I know pollo too. But I feel it still in a beta release. I am currently coding
with jEdit and the XML Tree Plug-in.

Attribute order is irrelevant in an XML document - it is up to the
application if the order is preserved. IIRC, Xalan sorts attributes
alfabetically.
For general sitemap editing woes, maybe have a look at
http://pollo.sf.net/ - a general-purpose XML editor that comes with a
configuration for Cocoon sitemap editing and some entry helpers for that
purpose.
