[DFDL-WG] unordered vs floating - identical?

[Steve Hanson]

Yes. This equality is stated in the DFDL spec section 14.4. 

IBM DFDL does not support dfdl:floating yet.

Are these functionally the same?
 
#1
Sequence sequenceKind=unordered
           Element name=a
           Element name=b
           Element name=c
/Sequence
 
#2
 
Sequence sequenceKind=ordered
           Element name=a floating=yes
           Element name=b floating=yes
           Element name=c floating=yes
/Sequence
