little thing: description of document order

This sentence is not quite true, I believe, since namespace nodes are
defined below to occur before attribute nodes; and, "Namespaces in
XML" do not, I believe, require that namespace declarations occur
before attributes.  Thus "corresponding" is too strong!  Write
"for the most part corresponding" or something similar.
