 In some cases partition specs are stored using only the field list instead of 
the object format that includes the spec ID, like the deprecated 
`partition-spec` field in table metadata. The object format should be used 
unless otherwise noted in this spec.
 
 The `field-id` property was added for each partition field in v2. In v1, the 
reference implementation assigned field ids sequentially in each spec starting 
at 1,000. See Partition Evolution for more details.
 
+Notes:
+
+1. For multi-arg bucket, the serialized form is `bucketV2[N]` instead of 
`bucket[N]` to distinguish it from the single-arg bucket transform. Therefore, 
old readers/writers will identify this transform as an unknown transform, old 
writer will stop writing the table if it encounters this transform, but old 
readers would still be able to read the table by scanning all the partitions.
+   This makes adding multi-arg transform a forward-compatible change, but not 
a backward-compatible change.
+2. For partition fields with a transform with a single argument, the id of the 
source field is set on `source-id`, and `source-ids` is omitted.

Review Comment:
   It seems `ID` is used in most places in the spec, however for fields in json 
serialized form or code blocks, I believe `id` should be used instead.
   For this case, `the id of the source field` --> `the ID of the source field`
   `source-id` and `source-ids` should be kept. WDYT?
