I'm reading the XSPF spec right now, trying to get some more context.
Back to what seems to be the root of the problem, element order, I'm a
little fuzzy on why you feel the need to allow arbitrary ordering of
elements in the first place.  I'm not seeing anything in the spec that
says that arbitrary ordering is ok.  Am I just missing it?  Does
allowing an arbitrary ordering of elements provide some extra
functionality that I'm just not understanding?  To me, it just seems to
complicate the format without any clear benefit.
