Comment:

 > How can identity-ed25519 be in the first position?

 It will in some future version of the spec.  But for now, it's second-
 position.

 > Is there a reason we care about its position in the server descriptor?
 If not then might as well just say "[At most once]" like everything else.

 I'd like implementors to be able to do a parsing algorithm that gets the
 key and checks the signature first, and only does parsing if the key
 checks.

 > Can microdescriptors and router status entries have multiple 'id' lines?

 Yes, at most once per key type.  Tried to clarify that in the spec.

 Changes are in commit 09ff9e202d4a169e95d6962c710bb05fcf062a49 .  Thanks!
