Aha, now I realize where are you getting at. I got distracted by your FLWR block, I guess. ;-) If your question concerns the creation of ``free standing'' nodes (like the <c> nodes in your original query), then the XQuery and XPath Data Model Document might help: 3.2 Document Order [...] The relative order of free-standing nodes (elements, attributes, and other nodes created outside the context of a particular document) is also implementation-dependent but stable.
