I am not against a frame notation like the above. But in my view this has
to do with an ontology of rule parts rather than with the syntax.
When we do XML syntax I don't think it is useful to get out of our way to
emphasize that the head and the body can come in any order. In fact, this
is useless and harmful, IMO.
