If you can change the DTD, you could make these attributes #IMPLIED without
any default values.  Then the parser shouldn;t be adding them.

Martin's solution of sorting would only work if your "broken" 3rd party
software want to see alphabetical order.  Fundamentally, xml attributes are
never guaranteed to be in any particular order - basically, they are a set,
not a list.
