+ * Note: when reading this source code in conjunction with the specification
there is scope for confusion
+ * over what the values of the numeric indices ought to be, depending on your
understanding of the
+ * word "lexical" in the context of sequencing. So the SDO specification at
the 2.0.1 level (and before) says
+ * <i>The order of Properties in Type.getDeclaredProperties() is the lexical
order of declarations in the
+ * XML Schema ComplexType.</i>. So if your background is in computing and in
particular in lexical parsing
+ * then you would understand this to mean "the sequence of tokens produced by
the lexical analyis (first) phase of a compiler"
+ * and if you ran a lexical parser against the complex type then you would see
the elements emerege in the order they were
+ * written down. If however you think more in terms of lexical in the
context of lexicons or dictionaries, you may
+ * expect the indices to correspond to the lexically sorted (essentially
alphabetically sorted) list of element names.
+ * After some investigation it is understood that the intention of the spec is
to convey the first of these meanings.
+ * A clarification in the SDO 2.1 spec is being sought, but may not make it
into that document in time.
