Besides the issue of what the spec really means by "not significant" (I strongly suspect it means for validity only), I really don't understand what's behind that statement. I mean, every XML parser simply parses text.

But attributes are not text: they're more metadata than data. As attribute names must be unique inside an element, order doesn't provide any additional information.

email, in this regard I think the XML spec (or the parser makers interpretation) is broken.

Try convincing W3C about it. :)
