The spec seems to be unclear on this: should two comment haeders who only
differ in the order of comments be considered equevalent?
VCE shows comments in the order read and allows to store them in any order
(it has move up/down buttons). Comment editors with a fixed layout (like
the commmon TITLE/ARTIST/etc. fields in PP's winamp plugin) don't show
the
order and give no control of it.
The spec mentions having multiple comments of the same kind:
ARTIST=John
ARTIST=Jake
ARTIST=James
In such a case I think the ordering should be considered important, while
the ordering between comments of different names should not be important
(e.g. a TITLE coming before an ARTIST is as good as the other way around).
BTW: Do the various comment editing frontends out there (in particular
PP's winamp plugin) support having multiple comments of the same name?
