I'd like to request that PEP 426 is extended to talk about the order
of fields. In particular, for the Extension field, is it necessary that all
"additional tags" follow immediately the respective Extension field?

I also request that RFC 2119 terminology is followed strictly. In particular, the phrasing "Additional tags defined by the extension should be of
the form string/Name:" is unclear - under what "particular circumstances" can I deviate from that requirement, i.e. use some form other than string/Name?

Regards, Martin
