    Change header ordering from a MUST to SHOULD clause
    
    We had this as a 'MUST' because the directory authorities need to agree upon an
    ordering in their votes to derive at a signed consensus. However, this
    requirement is turning out to be very error prone...

    Got the ordering issues sorted out... I think. However, this has bitten us
    three times in a row and clearly will bite us more in the future so loosening
    these requirements a little.
