Description
The structure of Leica LIF XML is rather complicated, and in many places we rely upon the order in which elements appear within the file. This has caused a number of bugs, most recently omero:#2939.
We should at least consider switching to DOM parsing, so that we can access the XML elements in any order and avoid hacks like the ones introduced in r6822 and r7037.
