Comment (by atagar):

 > We should say that anybody parsing a consensus or a vote MUST accept
 them in any order, but that authorities building a consensus MUST produce
 them in a specific order, and then we specify that specific order.

 For what it's worth this doesn't change things for Stem. Without
 validation Stem is quite happy with the consensus - it's just validation
 squawking because... well, it's wrong.

 Without these validation checks we wouldn't know about this issue at all,
 so I'm inclined to day 'everything working as intended on the stem and
 spec front'. We can fix this with a tor change that moves the property to
 the right spot, and await that release.

 Concerning DocTor, I can make a temporary tweak so it ignores this
 particular issue until the fix is live.
