Using identical parameter names sounds like a bad idea; I'm not aware of 
any header field that currently uses this format, and it also seems to 
contradict the "dictionary" data model.

Why not:

  feature1; o="http://origin1 http://origin2", feature2; 
o="http://origin3 http://origin4", feature3

?
