Line 6:

Since XML is inherently sequential and objects are (usually) not, XML data binding mappings often fail to preserve all the information in an XML document. Specifically, information like [[comment]]s, [[XML entity reference]]s, and [[sibling order]] will fail to be preserved in the object representation created by the binding application. This is not necessarily true; sufficiently complex data binders are capable of preserving 100% of the information in an XML document.
