The wonderful world of interpreting W3C specifications :-)

In what way do you see preserving or fixing attribute order being 
'better', except for presentation purposes?

In a Pollo display specification, you can specify the attributes that 
should be shown on the element and the order in which they should 
appear. But that's view-only, I believe, since the attribute editing 
pane operates on the DOM, where the order is so-called irrelevant and 
thus Pollo shows them ... alfabetically. Ha! :-)

Pollo is by no means beta-quality, it's just sub-ambitious with regards 
to its version numbering scheme ;-)
