Noted.

I based the ordering on the "APIC" frame (Text encoding, MIME type, picture type, description, picture data) which is the closest precedent I could find in ID3v2. In the end I think it's probably an arbitrary decision.

How about:

"Operations on ID3v2 tags which result in the editing, addition or removal of text fields may result in the retention of irrelevant ATXT frames or an inconsistent availability of audio text unless action is taken to amend, add or remove the corresponding ATXT frames."

Best regards,

Chris
