Actually the order doesn't matter anymore.
Now a request is being dispatched to the realm with the longest matching
mount-point.
e.g.:
realm A, mount-point=/foo
realm B, mount-point=/foo/bar
then the request /foo/bar/hello.html will always go to realm B,
regardless of the order of the realms in realms.xml.

IIRC the root attribute is used for inheritance. For example, if a realm
does not specify a proxy configuration, it will inherit this
configuration from the root realm.
