I'm referring to XML command structures for which an order can be
explicitly specified, such as elements within a sequence.  It's
certainly not a new concept because the specifications have been this
way since the very beginning (the same quote can be found in RFC 3730
from 2004). If the order wasn't intended to be significant I wouldn't
have used sequences.
