That seems like a question for the KRB WG list. My tentative answer:
it'd be best if we could rely on ordered processing of padata, where the
order in which it's processed is the order in which it appears in the
PDU. BUT, from a security analysis point of view, for now we must
assume that padata have been re-ordered in-flight.
