My impression is that "sane" values of theta have theta_1

theta_2 > theta_1 -- and that such vectors will respect the "zero last

I'm aware of).
Right, but then the estimation can steer the hyperparameters into the
"unsane" region, can't it?
I had also thought about whether there is a condition like th1 < th2 and
looked for it in Ghysels' guide, but couldn't find anything.
(And BTW, what you report on the weighting/summing in R's midasr sounds
weird.)
