+Summary: XPath union expression does not return results in document order
+
+Description of Problem:
+In XPath when using the union expression (a|b), items are returned in the
+the order that they were specified (ie, all the things that match `a' then
+everything that matches `b'). They should be returned in document order
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+evaluate 'a | b' on
+<root><b/><a/></root>
+
+Actual Results:
+you get a  then b
+
+Expected Results:
+you get b then a
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+This makes the identity transformation:
+<xsl:template match="@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()|*">
+  <xsl:copy>
+    <xsl:apply-templates
+select="@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()|*"/>
+  </xsl:copy>
+</xsl:template>
+
+fail in managed xslt.
