| 10 | Its already legal to specify the field multiple times, and it should |
| 11 | work better that way for consistency with things that can already parse |
| 12 | XML. |

| 15 | extraction. |

| 17 | <remote-id type="debian">libfoo</remote-id> |
| 18 | <remote-id type="debian">libfoo-debug</remote-id> |
| 19 | |

| 23 | _and_ sorted, without having to reinvent new tools. |
