To use header data in the condition it must be normalized before it is signed/hashed. The algorithm for this needs to be standardized so it is repeatable and deterministic.

To be more precise, the ASN.1 SEQUENCE types already define the ordering of the fields within a given header. I think what you're saying is that we should have a recommended ordering for the different headers attached to a packet (see IPv6)

Yes. If the data that is being signed includes multiple headers (ILP + ITP for example) then we need to define how to normalize the combined data
