Since when is sorting relevant to occurrences? The key factor for topic maps
is the ability to distinguish the rules for sorting topic names from the
various display versions. This got munged in XTM, but is still just about
discernable. I don't see its applicability to occurrences, so there is not a
one-to-one correspondence, and therefore no need to keep a consistent
structure.
