This doesn't exactly answer my question about multiple rules
contributing to one decision.

The need for more as yet undefined information sounds like a good reason
to define a new header if that happens.

At this point, is it reasonable to throw an error if more than one RULE
header appears in a message? The way I had coded this last patchset was
to allow for more than one RULE header and each one would get its own
record in the event.

How many rules total are likely to exist?
