http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26065 Attributes order preservation ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-01-12 19:08 ------- Some points to consider: The serializer isn't grammar aware and thus in no way uses the DTD (or XML schema) when serializing a document. An element's attributes are an unordered set. Their ordering within the instance document provide no information and thus are not included in the XML Information Set [1]. The DTD doesn't specify ordering of attributes. "The grouping and ordering of attribute declarations in ATTLIST declarations" [1] are also not part of the XML Information Set. In general, (I cannot think of an instance where this isn't true) the ordering of attributes emitted from the parser are the same as in the instance document. Any attributes defaulted from the DTD are placed on the end of this list.
