title: In XML, is the attribute order important?
body: <p>I'm writing an application that produces a couple of XML files. In the files, some of the tags have attributes. I'd like to know if the order of the attributes is important, or it's the same.</p>
  
  <p>For instance, this output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;person first='john' last='doe'&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is the same as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;person last="doe" first="john"&gt;
  </code></pre>
