[Qt-interest] ç­"复: QDomDocument parser xml

[Atlant Schmidt]

André:

  Well, I can think of one reason why it would have
  been nice to keep the attributes ordered:

  Random swapping around of attributes leads to new file
  versions appearing to be different when they really
  aren't. This confuses the history maintained by code
  management systems, leads to extra work (and a greatly-
  increased likelihood of errors) by the humans doing
  code review ("Is this a real change or just Qt swapping
  attributes around? I don't know, we'll have to inspect
  each attribute individually and hope we correctly assess
  all of the changes :-(."), and screws up a lot of
  automation that expects that files don't gratuitously
  change.

I don't. I think it is pointless API bloat.
What does the order of the attributes in an XML file matter? AFAIK, the
order is meaningless. Each attribute name is unique anyway. Of course, the
order of the _elements_ is important, but that order is preserved.

Anyway, I don't give a feature request on this much chance. The DOM API
has pretty much been declared depreciated anyway, in favour of the XML
stream classes.
