	I'm glad you've re-opened this question, Gilles, as I just
	last week had occasion to update an object which had long
	had multiple 'abuse-c' contacts, and had to choose which one
	to keep.

	I'm in the "No" camp wrt your question above.

	Back in the original "abuse-c" proposal [*],

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2004-January/002489.html

	there was provision for multiple "abuse-c" attributes,
	but this was not carried over into the current specification.

	Would "hint strings" be a way to go, or have you something
	else in mind, or are you just re-opening the question?
