It is just that all the element definitions in the RFC so far are  
_unique_ values which
have no sensible meaning for multiple values, like SAMPLINGRATE,  
DATETIME etc.

It doesn't say multiple values of the same type are permitted or not,  
so I guess they
are. If I remember right the current asterisk implementation just  
uses the last value it
finds for a given type.
