Our dataforms API translates form XML to a map of values. Each field has
one output type. If we change the output type of text-multi to an array of
strings, it will break anything that currently uses that field type as a
string.

Regardless of whether text-multi has been misused in the past, I don't see
why it's a problem to use list-multi (given all the same arguments that are
being given for using text-multi also apply to that).
