If it is equivalent >Julian's version is clearer. If it is not I likely miss the point. Julian's version allows using the same name more than once through a double negative under the assumption that MAY is the antonym of MUST NOT. I would not make this assumption, and I think double negatives are generally more difficult to understand than positive statements. If you want clearer text you would have to split the statements up and say: list-valued headers may occur more than once, other headers must not occur more than once. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
