XSLT 2.0 with Saxon 8
When I am parsing a node with attributes, can I count on the attribute order
staying the same as in the source document?
Nope. Attribute order is undefined in XML, so parsers are not obliged
to maintain it, and consequently nothing else is either.
You can, however, always sort your attributes: if they're always in
alphabetical order they'll always be in the same order.
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:sort select="name()"/>
...
</xsl:for-each>
Cheers,
Wendell
