It wouldn't be conformant. document order of attribute nodes is stable and well defined, given an input tree. What isn't defined is how the nodes are ordered in an input tree, given the XML document markup. So once teh document has been parsed, attribute order is just as fixed as eleemnt order.
are semantically equivalent but the result of string-join(@*,'-') would (I think, most of the time) be different, so it really depends on the consistency of the ordering in the on-disk version, and the order in which the XML parser reports the attributes.
