It depends on how <root> is defined, i.e. whether its children have to be
ordered or not.
XML doesn't say anything about that, it's your DTD/XML schema/RelaxNG schema
that defines this.

I disagree. Having things in a certain order makes it MUCH easier to implement
loading with a SAX-like API (as opposed to using the DOM).
If you're loading a document with SAX, you want to receive the automatic
styles before the body contents.
