the big problem with simply allowing arbitrarily placed info is that it makes the info useless for the normal nut file case as the info cannot be found its like a dvd with chapters but the information about where the chapters begin is stored at the begin of the chapters, you end up with a O(n) search ... so ive some concerns with just saying its ok for streaming, as that leads to nut files laying around which are encoded for streaming ...
The proposal I had for this is - info packets not written after main headers are only allowed in real time streaming, and must have chapter_id!=0
Just to point something out - we already make a distinction in the spec between real time streaming and file storage - in regards to index and headers must be repeated 3 times... - ods15
