This was originally what I was going to comment on when the proposal |

first hit the list. |

But then I realised all you have to do is define all the non-notes |
| 12 |
fields, and any additional fields will be appended to that list, and |
| 13 |
notes always come afterwards. |

It *does* mean when the new field is updated, the entire file must be |
| 16 |
updated immediately for this new field. |

But it also means existing decoders that don't know about the new field |
| 19 |
will treat the new field as part of the notes. |

All in all, I think that turns out to be a feature. |
