The initial requirements does not specify how to handle the order
among child nodes which is implied in the XML document. From my personal
opinion, this order among child nodes is significant information, and
should be captured in the XML data model. For query purposes, in the
default case, the order among child nodes should be considered 
insignificant. But the query language should support constructs for
querying on this order if the user wants to.

Thanks - Murali.
