store an identical
+All info packets stored after a main header set MUST also
have an identical
 info packet after every main-stream-header set
 
+All info packets not stored after a main header set MUST
have

+Info packets MUST be written after main header sets in non
realtime

 If a demuxer has seen several info packets with the same
chapter_id and
 stream_id then it MUST ignore all but the one with the
highest position in
