Those people will be only implementors of OpenID libraries, not a  
huge crowd, right? Also, it may not be that hard to implement (I  
could be wrong on this).

Multiple parameters with the same name are quite common (PHP uses  
them a lot but with its own syntax) and I would rather not introduce  
a limitation like this unless there is a very good reason.

Check boxes and multiple selection list boxes for example are  
implemented using multi value parameters.
