Re: [xsl] General rule for designing XPath expressions to return items i

Section 19.1 of the XSLT 3.0 specification says:

... evaluation of the path expression //section/head will not always deliver 
nodes in document order; this can be seen by examining the source document 
below, where a child of the first section appears in document order after a 
child of the second section:

<section>
  <section>
     <head/>
  </section>
  <head/>
</section>

I'm confused. David says one thing, the spec says the opposite. Who's right?
