Description

For the operations on a fields resource that set or get all values of a named field, the specification should indicate their order; is it serialization order?

Also, what does it mean actually for a name to have multiple values? For HTTP/1.1, would that correspond to multiple Name: Value lines? That is my assumption but it might be good to spell it out somehow.

Research direction

Start by locating the specification sections for fields#get and fields#set. Determine and document the ordering of values, then clarify what multiple values for one name mean and whether HTTP/1.1 maps them to repeated header lines. Done means the specification answers both questions unambiguously.
