I have added this info for my (and my colleagues :)) reference to the bug report but won't reopen it unless I run into a clear statement in a SAX or XML spec about order preserving of attributes. I realize I did not get much support for having this fixed, or even have a patch considered if I'd prepare one, but I can't tell my clients so easily that their applications have crazy hacks (unless they go against the Servlet/JSP spec) so please forgive me for trying!
