 Hi Nick. Shared randomness just made it into the consensus and it's making
 Stem's validator squawk. Trouble is that it's in the wrong position in the
 header. [https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt
 According to the spec]...

 {{{
 The preamble contains the following items.  They MUST occur in the
 order given here:
 }}}

 However, shared-rand-current-value appears last...

 Think I'll mark this as 'high' since it's a new regression in the live
 consensuses. Gonna hazard to guess we'll need to update the spec rather
 than tor since this has already made it into a release?

 Kinda unfortunate since it means it won't live with the other shared
 randomness attributes...
