The rules for formulating a reply in section 3.2 state that "a new pair of IRIs is /added /to this value as follows ..." (emphasis added). We have recently clarified (in LC15) that there should only be one reply relation in a compliant message. A compliant processor is required to produce a compliant message in response to a compliant request. However, it is possible for a request also to be a reply, particularly outside the context of the usual WSDL MEPs. In this case, the request message may still be compliant, but if it is, the responder is obligated to produce a non-compliant message by adding a reply relation to a message that already has one. This could be resolved either by prohibiting request messages to have reply relations or by allowing (but discouraging) multiple reply relations in compliant messages.
