5.1. Query Format
What if the key tag is less than 0x1000 hex or 4096 decimal - Should the
resulting hex have leading zeros (always 4 characters?) or not?
For example, would 4095 decimal be _ta-0fff or _ta-fff ? (I prefer always
4 characters hex, but it is your doc.)

It is a WG doc, not our doc. Do others have a preference on this?

5.3.1. Interaction With Aggressive Negative Caching
I would prefer that the tags always be sorted. No big deal for two tags, but if there was a compromise or mistake during a rollover, there might be three keys and the savings in records might be significant. If you decide to specify sorting, I think it would go in section 5.1 and not in 5.3.1.

Would the "savings in records" really be significant? The problems caused by people not consistently sorting could make things worse, not better. Related: there might be other reasons for three tags, such as during an algorithm rollover.
