Subject: [Netconf] XML element order

Hi,

Is the NETCONF agent allowed to accept XML elements
out of the specified order?  It does not seem to
break anything.  This rule seems to be an XML CLR
which violates the Postel Principle.

SNMP never had a specified order for individual var-binds.
The CLI does not enforce any (sibling) command order
either.  A NETCONF database does not even have a
canonical ordering.

Andy
