No, XML Schema only says what orderings are allowed, it doesn't say whether
ordering is significant. 

For example, If a <tbody> can contain many <tr> elements, there's nothing in
Schema to say whether the order of the <tr> elements is significant. 

A <route> element might allow <route><left/><right/><right/><left/></route>
- the elements can appear in any order, but the actual order is significant.
