Subelements ordering.
Hi,
I remember reading somewhere that DOM does not guarantee that the order in
which the children of an element are returned is the same as that in which
it is stored in the XML file.
But I have noticed xerces does maintain this order. Is this by design? Or
more to the point, is this behaviour dependable?
Thanks,
-/renji

The parser maintains child order, but not necessarily attribute order.

elements are ordered, attributes are not.
( i should find the documentation behind it )

I hope so. For example, the <interval> element in MathML takes two numbers
(<cn>) as children, and I would assume the lower comes before the
higher... I think ordering matters in xml. Am I wrong?
