You are mistaken, but not THAT far off the mark.

    <grouptag>
    <dataitem value="thing"/>
    <dataitem value="other"/>
    </grouptag>

List items are ordered, but I recall a caveat rattling about in the back 
of my head. A more irritating version of the same would be a schema that 
defines...

    <grouptag>
    <dataitem1 value="thing"/>
    <dataitem2 value="other"/>
    <!-- where dataitem2 is actually the same as dataitem1, and part of
    an allegedly arbitrary number of items -->
    </grouptag>

And what of dataitem3? Well, that's a new schema... ARRRGH!!!

*dons fire proof suit*
I do tend to think XML has its uses though, mostly as lowest common 
denominator file data exchange.
