Claudio,
yes, I agree
I think the third one is what I actually miss but 
unfortunatelly knowledge presentation can't work without 
first two (facet citation order, facet filing order).

The first two I solve as classifications normally do
by having facet indicators that I can manage easily
e.g. 
I have facet indicators that based on alphabets letters.
so facet that has to be filed first is noted A
and the last is e.g Z, within each facet I have decimal 
espressive notation for hierarchies. (This is then appropriatelly tagged
in a database)
so filing order goes
A1
A1111
A123
E11 
E54-A1
K1
K123
K123-E3-A2

As you can see the facet citation order is the reverse...
e.g. 

K123-E123-A123
My database tool 'knows' that. But I would like to know
how to record this when binding it in XML. 
I can easily define XML schema based on my data but 
that is not the point if you want to make vocabulary shareable.
So far my understanding is that XFML is simply not designed to work with
knowledge classifications.
