I see it the other way around: to me, ordering matters more in
document-oriented applications, but less in data-oriented applications. If a
relational table has columns for firstName, lastName, empNum, homePhone,
officePhone, hireDate, etc., the ordering of their XML equivalents inside of
an element that represents a row of that table really doesn't matter to me,
and probably doesn't to an importing application. I'll bet there are plenty
of examples there.
