I guess we jut have to agree to disagree then :-) XML that represents  
data from a database is ordered and the order does in fact matter as  
it is usually the result of a sort of some kind. There are times when  
you would like to print things off as they appear in the XML tree.

I'm actually referring to how I would like to see arrays behave in  
Revolution. They just aren't the types of arrays you are accustomed  
to. Like I said before, I really like how PHP arrays work and I am  
advocating something similar in the feature request (which David filed).

We just have different views on how an array should work in Revolution.
