Ah, of course. I haven't personally tried doing a parent.indexOf (attribute)
and the javadoc doesn't really get into what happens in that case. I presume
its stable and repeatable, but I would verify that before betting on it. In
any case, good thinking. I'm sure there are other special cases I haven't
thought of. Interesting problem, though.

Attribute nodes don't have an intrinsic ordering: you have to invent an
arbitrary ordering and make sure it's applied consistently.

Namespace nodes often have only a transient physical existence since most
models store namespace declarations rather than namespace nodes; but you
still need to devise a stable and repeatable ordering.
