There's a reason behind that: the schema-centric viewpoint on this point is opposed to the data-centric viewpoint. In general, if a schema says that the order is prescribed (a sequence), that means that there is no significance in the order. On the other hand, if the schema does not prescribe an order, then there is typically significance in the ordering that actually appears in the data. WXS takes a schema-centric viewpoint; ASN.1 takes a data-centric one. -- In politics, obedience and support John Cowan <jcowan@r...> are the same thing. --Hannah Arendt http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
