I was just reading that the XPath doesn't necessarily return the

the order to change? Is it not predictable?
Can you cite the source? I've done a reasonable amount of work with
XSLT (which of course includes XPath) and have relied upon the fact
that XSLT requires the return in document order (unless you've done a
sort). Not quite the same as XPath proper (which has uses in other XML
technologies) but I just assumed it would behave according to XSLT
rules when used in that context.
