XMLPORTS Limitations ?

Hi,
I have a rather complicated XML document type that I have succesfully managed to do a XMLPORT for, until I found these 2 problems
1) Can it be true, that XMLPORTS are sensitive to the order in which attributes come in ?
The XMLPORT seems to deny co-operation if they do not come in the same order as in the XMLPORT.
2) No way to continue a XMLPORT If a new element / attribute is added to the document?
To me it seems it always stops the import
These two limitations, have made me start using XMLDOC automation for the import as it gives more flexibility and error handling.
I hope I can still use the XMLPORT for the export - creating by the lovely XML 1.3 Generator found on this site
Kind regards,
Pedgaard
