Think of it from a programming language perspective: class doc: title: string published: date authors: list of string text: list of (para|list|img) The authors property is unordered with respect to the other properties but its domain is ordered. The *list of authors* is metadata for the doc object. In grove land we allow a single, particular property to be labeled as the content property. In this case it would be the "text:" property. In a language like Python, you would navigate "regular (metadata)" properties like this: doc.publisher.address.street and content properties like this: doc[5][3][2][4] In the former, the name is significant. In the latter the position is significant.
