Then we will need to update existing containers to add/remove
items in the sequence of all members. I guess we will have to
do this anyway.

Right. I was talking about modification. My example just shows that
it becomes really complicated to maintain valid (per-schema) order
in the sequence of all members if there are modification to the tree.
That's also why we currently don't do this for DOM associations (i.e.,
we don't create DOM nodes for new tree nodes that were inserted into
the tree).
