This is * also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce * several keys that are literally different but semantically identical. * E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be * placed in the same tag. - * 2. Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you + * - Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags.
