We had substantial discussion about this in Lyon (much of it focused on the
virtues of using <measure> vs. creating a new element <dim> (which we
eventually did). I don't remember discussing the ordering issue much, so i
don't think it was a big concern. The reasoning, I believe, is that a source
text being encoded may not have height, width, etc. in the same order as
prescribed by the TEI. Lou's concern, again from memory, was that if we
removed the ordering any of the child elements could be repeated in any
order - hence the request for a pattern for "no more than one of each in any
order".

Somebody stop me if I'm remembering wrong.
