I'd like the displayed order to be document order.
I'm sure you mean to say "specified order" here, because I think we've established there is no document order for attributes.
Yes. My mistake.

. . . I see what you see in that a number of processors appear to put the attributes on the attribute axis in specified order, followed by the unspecified defaulted attributes in declaration order.
So when there is no declaration, then -- even with all the haranguing about what the spec says -- an xsl:for-each or a select="@*[ ]" will take attributes in specified order.

Is that right?
