Actually ... I dont know where this is explicitly defined for XML itself ...
although it is explicitly defined for INFOSET

http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset/

"An ordered list of child information items, in document order."

As well as for XPATH
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/
... " nodes that are after the context node in document order is a forward axis. "

And with XDM
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel/#document-order

"[Definition: Document order is stable, which means that the relative order of two nodes will not change during the processing of a given query or transformation, even if this order is implementation-dependent.]"

( but note: its not uncommon for 'man in the middle' code to 'do something that mixes them up' ... ).
