I actually argued that the second value should be discarded, but got
overridden by people who actually know anything about web aps. :)  The
*intent* of the developpers, last I checked, was that A's entry in the
dictionary would be some sort of collection if A appears multiple times,
and thus that both values would be saved.  I'm not sure this behavior
has been actually used, though, so it possibly doesn't work correctly.

In PWS it definately worked this way.
