RE: Configuration file format

I'm with Carlos on this one.  In the projects I have
been on, we have always specified an order attribute
when needed.  This is done explicitly to protect from
a parser implementation that may not go in document
order.  Maybe there's an optimization that would cause
a parser to do that - I haven't thought about it
enough.  Is there a specification somewhere that says
that the parser will always preserve document element
order?
