Javadogs,

Please reply if you have an issue with this.

Currently the spec does not appear to support an element that allows mapping a collection (duplicates allowed) to a table with a column specifically to allow duplicates. We have an <order> element but it seems to be just for ordering.

I'd like to propose using the order element to be used for duplicates. As a side effect, the collection might be ordered but that's not a requirement.

<spec>
ELEMENT order
This element specifies the mapping for the ordering component of arrays and lists.
</spec>

<proposed>
ELEMENT order
This element specifies the mapping for the ordering component of arrays and lists, and for the mapping that allows duplicates in a collection.
</proposed>
