By default yes.

I have heard of an effort to define a simple element that would sit
in XML Schemas appinfo element, and which would let you specify whether
order was significant.

See 1

For schematron, repetitive grouping issues within elements are
not particularly convenient, but the fact that we think of documents
like that is a throwback to grammars.  Most kinds of order and openness
can be reprented.
