Consider this XML:

         A
     </head>
</Document>
Clearly "A" comes after "B" in the document. But this XPath:

//head

results in outputting the latter value ("A") first and the earlier value ("B") second.

I don't think so, //head selects the two head elements and if you access the string value of the first one you get the concatenation of all its contents that is
