No, it is not. FTS-5000 and FTS-5001 do not mandate any particular order for
the flags. I would have preferred the INA flag to always be before the protocol
flags. That way a one pass parser would do. Current practise however has not
followed that rule, so now nodelist parsers must find the INA flag wherever it
is.


Cheers, Michiel
