[xquery-talk] Order of results

[Michael Kay]

There's something in XQuery called "ordering mode", and if this is set 
to "unordered" then this would be a legitimate result. It would be very 
unfriendly of an XQuery processor to set this to "unordered" by default, 
but the specification does actually permit it.
