The question of element ordering has reared its ugly head again in
another list... This topic seems to keep coming back at every DC
workshop, however, the answer doesn't seem very clear... It seemed
that element ordering was important due to the limitation of certain
carrier and transfer syntaxes (i.e. HTML and HTTP), but is the
preservation of element order necessary in general?
