The following is (slightly edited) from Carolyn, who is implementing IA2 in Eclipse...
Back in the fall, Andres asked why IA2 provides both IA2_STATE_MULTI_LINE and IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE state bits. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00173.html They would seem to be mutually exclusive, and having both takes up a precious bit in the 32-bit strip. Is there ever a case where an object can be neither single-line nor multi-line? Is there ever a case where an object can be both single-line and multi-line? In the conversation on the ia2 list, Jamie said that he had never even noticed the single-line bit. This is a possible source of error, for example if an application only notices and sets/clears the "single" bit, but the AT only looks at the "multi" bit. The list discussion kind of ended with "oh well, whatever". I propose deprecating IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE.
