Another option would be to allow one <content> with inline content, and alternative content by reference, eg. (not being careful about getting language tags correct):
<content type="TEXT" xml:lang="en_US">This is a pen</content> <content type="text/html" hreflang="en_US" src="http://foo.com/abc"; /> <content type="text/html" hreflang="jp" src="http://foo.com/aiu"; />
I think that's the same option as allowing multiple content elements (unless this implies some fairly strict rules about the combinations of content elements allowable, which IMO would be difficult to specify and enforce).
If the concern about multiple content is solely that it will result in more bandwidth use, I think it's misplaced; people who are concerned about bandwidth won't publish multiple representations inline; forcing them not to by legislation is misguided.
