but in the case of naming "red", "blue", "green", we have to think about
matching name to order. but if there is no regulations, 
it's impossible in boundless space to impose name to each point.. 
Am i right?

i think that many cases in XML, namespace is a kind of boundless space
not ordinally arranged, but nominally identified with key name.
There is no order in components in that space.
and we just can think about virtual curve to circumscribe every components.
so each points in that space are inside of the curve.
