Hehe. Funny coincidence: all the trees in this part of N. America do that, too!

All I meant was that the definition should point out that document order is 
independent of the l-to-r/r-to-l/top-to-bottom/bottom-to-top convention for 
the language in which the document is written... and/or drop the word 
"normally"... or provide an example in which the doc order is NOT top down, 
l-to-r.

I don't know; maybe this is a case of over-exactitude at the expense of 
clarity.
