Comment (by atagar):
Hi teor, are you sure you want to go this route? The problem in this
ticket isn't that clients are unable to accept misordered fields. Stem can
still read the consensus just fine. Rather, the trouble is that its
**descriptor validator** was telling us that tor's actual behavior doesn't
match the spec.
I see two options...
* Fix the ordering in the spec, and be careful in the future that we don't
keep making this mistake.
* Loosen the requirement from MUST to SHOULD so it's no big whoop if tor's
order matches the spec or not.
Considering that I found three separate instances of these fields being
misordered I don't think this is a detail we want to keep contending with.
