Path expressions constructed with / always

Section 19.1 of the XSLT 3.0 specification says:
... evaluation of the path expression //section/head will not always deliver
nodes in document order; this can be seen by examining the source document
below, where a child of the first section appears in document order after a
child of the second section:
<section>
<section>
<head/>
</section>
<head/>
</section>
I'm confused. David says one thing, the spec says the opposite. Who's right?
