I ain't placin' no burden on nuthin' (particularly not elements of
sets). I'm just describing the XML data model, and makin' the point
that getting results in the 'right' order involves the same kind of
complexities as eliminating duplicates from a result.
If you can build an XML system that's less than within an order of
placing a heavy burden on the system if it has to maintain order
so as to retain identity.
