No. It also allowed the same phone number to be entered multiple times 
in the same field which would cause LDAP to throw an error (some obscure 
thing about types).

I don't think it is a bad thing to have the same phone number listed in 
multiple fields, it may very well be the case that their pager is a cell 
phone.

Simo pointed out that we shouldn't limit this test to phone numbers 
either. The full name field is also multi valued.
