  RFC 2865 mandates that inter-attribute order doesn't matter.

  Yes.  RFC 2865 mandates that intra-attribute ordering is preserved.

  Tags could be another field in an "attribute" struct.  But
semantically, attributes with the same tag are grouped together.

  Tags are really an atrocious hack.

  My $0.02 is to represent them as fields in an attribute:

 "<attribute>":{
     type:"<type>",
     value:[<values>]
     tag:"<integer>"
},
