The source is:

Simpson, John E. "XPath and XPointer". Sebastopol: O'Reilly, 2002.

From Chapter 2 regarding Nodes and Node-Sets:

"Also worth noting at this point is that the term node-set carries some implicit baggage of meaning: like a set in mathematical terms, a node-set contains no duplicate nodes (although some may have duplicate string-values) and is intrinsically unordered. When you use XPath to locate as a node-set all elements in a document, there's no guarantee that you'll get the members of the node-set back in any particular sequence."

Just makes no sense.
