That is what Issue 1.51 asks.

True. If we agree to make the change for vote 4 of 4.

But if that fails, then we still have to decide about the vote 3 of 4 on NLO
at the job-level for Get-Jobs.

And if we allow redundant job-level NLO, what if the client is requesting
"attributes-natural-language"?
A current implementation that we are testing the scripts with, returns
"attributes-natural-language" twice
with the same value (which our scripts reject). Issue 1.52 is asking
whether returning two "attributes-natural-language" is conforming or not.
If we agree it is, we will change our scripts.
