[2] <A>...</A>...<B>...</B>
[5] <B>...<A>...</A>...</B>
Note that A and B are elements, not element type, they could perfectly
have the same gi.
And I was looking for a "standard" way to do simple comparisons, without
delving into axes, so I guess using the document order (option 2 is
probably an acceptable solution).
No matter which one I choose anyway there will be situation where
something like
if( $a->after( $b) || $a->in( $b) ) { ... } (option 1)
or (for a different case)
if( $a->after( $b) && !$a->in( $b) ) { ... } (option 2)
will be needed.
