Perhaps a major part of the problem is that sometimes the document order
is meaningful and other times just an artifact of there being no "&"
connector in XML content models, and there is no way to decide. And
when the order is important, there is no way to label what its
significance is; indeed, the same thing is true of every axis including
the children and parent axes.
