There is no way in XSLT 1.0 of telling what the actual order
of evaluation is, and therefore a statement in the spec that
suggests a particular order has no force. Processors are
conformant if they produce the right results in all
circumstances, whether or not they do things the way the spec
suggests they should be done.
Incidentally, XSLT 1.0 says this explicitly in section 5.1:
Implementations are free to process the source document in any way that
produces the same result as if it were processed using this processing
model.
