My concern with this is that i fear that XRD instances which are  
dynamically generated within an application are able to produce  
service elements in the order they intend when serializing their  
object into XML.  I do not have sufficient exposure to enough XML  
libraries to know if this is truly an issue, however.

if others with better experience than i in such matters feel this is  
not an issue, than i am fine with that.
