+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I downloaded a bunch of recent inorganic CIFs from Acta Cryst. journals and was delighted to find that they could all be displayed by my Jmol-11 based upload form ( http://icsd.ill.fr/icsd/help/CIF-help.html ) even though they contain long header #comments and blank lines preceding the data_ line. Jmol does a great job there. Of course, the Acta files are cleaned up from those submitted by users, even when the users' original CIF contains a blank line within the atom coordinate loop and still passes the CIF checker.

I am not sure why a parser would want to re-order comment lines; that would make nonsense of the header comments in most CIF files, certainly those of Acta, ICSD etc. even though the CIF standard allows it. Multi-line headers containing #Jmolscript: should then have no problem with any CIF parsers or applications.
