I'm fully aware that attributes along the attribute:: axis are
unordered, but is there any partial ordering when they're being
collected off elements discovered along the ancestor:: axis?
We're basically looking at the XPath expression:
ancestor-or-self::*/@foo
and have some inconsistency in the order the (foo) attribute nodes are
being returned. In our case this could be related to differing XML tree
representations we're using or a bug in the implementation, but first I
wanted to check opinion on whether there *should* be any consistency in
the order of the return, that is ordered by distance from the context
node,or its reverse. I can't easily determine this from the spec.
