I don't see any cases where multiple chunks would be very useful, and they would cause me headaches when implementing a metadata writer -- I would need to add special logic to avoid duplicating information when writing to a file containing multiple eXIf chunks.

a) a clear body of existing images with multiple exifs, and
b) a clear description of how to interpret and modify them
then it seems like extra complexity that hurts interop and gives no benefit.
