I think the draft needs to be much clearer on whether a multipart
collection is an unordered multiset of representations (which I had
assumed so far) or an ordered sequence where applications attach
additional out-of-band meaning to the positions.

Speaking of additional out-of-band meaning, I wonder if there should
be identifiers in the collection explicitly describing the semantics
in the interest of self-description. There are also considerations
related to evolving the out-of-band information, such as when an
application wants to change the meaning of a position but continue
using the "application/multipart-core" content format ID.
