Sorry, I got the Saxon processing model wrong in my earlier message -
Mike has corrected me.

OK, insert the word 'usually' - from my experience, anyway: YMMV.  The
problem is that it can be hard to distinguish between 'processor
specific' and 'processor *version* specific' and even 'processor +
stylesheet specific'.  You are relying on execution order, and that
can theoretically change for example due to some apparently unrelated
modification of the stylesheet causing the processor to adopt a
different optimisation strategy, and hence a different execution
order.
