Art Botterell commented on EMERGENCY-10:
----------------------------------------
By the same token, if the multiple areas can be described by a single label, they probably should be a single Area. In other words, I'm thinking we should look to help originators make better use the existing <areaDesc> field before asking them to populate another, potentially redundant element.
And of course having redundancy or semantic overlap among fields is almost always a bad thing in the structured-data context because it raises the problem of what to do if the two values conflict.
