Yes, it should; the whole point is to "dictate rendering."  All the 
instances here just provide a template for the processing application.  
If it has ...

	<place/>
	<publisher before=":"/>

... it just says process the place first, and then the publisher (and 
put a colon before the latter).

Of course, I still need to figure out how to *do* this with XSLT, but 
that's another matter.
