No, Mr Contributor. :-) Having multiple attributes would lead to confusing questions about precedence, would make it hard to integrate into processing models such as microdata, and would lead to a huge number of attributes as we kept coming up with new types. I don't see much value in doing that. One attribute would likely be sufficient.
