Re: [xsl] The output of evaluating an XSLT transform is the same regardless of the order in which output elements are evaluated. Right?

Is it a correct explanation of what?

Of the XSLT processing model: perhaps.
of the behaviour of an XSLT implementation: probably not.

The XSLT language is designed so that most of the time the system can 
serialise the output as it goes along without ever having to build the 
result as a tree in memory. However (except for error conditions) it has 
to behave as if it doesn't do that.
