Is there any consensus among aggregators on how to handle this?  Do
some use only the first (or last) one?  Which ones actually provide a
list?  I ask because I've never seen one present a list, so I really
don't know.

Correct.  We're mainly concerned with non-blog sites, such as those
noted earlier on in the discussion (CNN, NYT, etc).

However, there's no reason that we couldn't use this new spec on
personal weblogs.  Sam Ruby, for example, suggested that he could
provide a list of all the syndication formats for his weblog.
