I don't remember and can't find any restriction that limits the number
of parameters for DELEGATED-FROM or DELEGATED-TO.

There are more parameters that are allowed multiple times because the
draft does not say they can not be listed multiple times.  Perhaps
another ABNF bug?

I simply thought this was a way of listing multiple instances.
