I see I typed a wrong word in my earlier post today - one that does not make
much sense in the context. Here is what I meant (probably everyone knew
that already) -
> [Glen Mazza]
> >
> > Question - does "proper" XML document design permit
> > deriving a semantic meaning from the ordering of XML
> > sibling elements?
> >
>
> Yes and no. As Richard Tobin just posted, the order of the
<WRONG>documents</WRONG> <INTENDED>elements</INTENDED> is
> significant in XML. On the other hand, the semantic value of having an
> order is up to you. XML says nothing about it. You are free to equate
> document order with physical order in the bookshelf if you want to, and
XML
> will respect that order for you.
