Implementations of datatype libraries *can* adopt order-independent, 
named parameters.  On the other hand, should RELAX NG care?  In other 
words, when two parameters have the same name, who should complain?  
The RELAX NG processor or implementations of datatype libraies?  I 
think that JamesC is proposing the latter.
