How would you model something like:

There are potentially unlimited number of child nodes - AppendNode for
example can have any number of them. Sure, you can give each<plan> node a
'offset=' id, but that doesn't buy much.
I don't see how that could be much improved by using child-nodes (or even
worse attributes).
Note that even in this case we DON'T rely on the ordering of the
nodes. The inner<plan> nodes have child nodes which contain their
relationship to the parent.
Not in the case of Append nodes, but I fail to see a problem there, so...
