[ogsa-naming-wg] multiple AbstractName elements?

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I have
questions about AbstractName cardinality after briefly reading the
latest draft on gridforge...

The draft does clearly state that inequality of AbstractName values
does not imply inequality of referenced service/resource.  So, this
implies there can be more than one AbstractName value for a given
addressee.

I didn't find an explicit cardinality rule on the use of the
AbstractName extended content in an EPR.  MAY there be more than one?

Are there any constraints on how a resolver may respond when presented
with different AbstractName values that are associated with the same
service/resource?  Can it return different EPRs depending on the
AbstractName, so long as they do address the same service/resource?
