It was probably an implementation detail (I've seen the XSD but not the parser). Anyway, considering there's a well-defined schema (nhibernate-mapping.xsd) that you can use at design time to catch errors and provide intellisense, what would be the benefit in supporting arbitrary ordering of the elements?
I'm not saying the current behavior is the only possibility, only that it works without problems, so there's no reason to invest in changing it (one could also argue that it IS important to define the id, discriminator and version before "regular" properties...)
