Subject: [regext] Name Servers Sharing Names

The recent request for support to adopt this document:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lozano-rdap-nameservers-sharing-name/

got me looking at how "name servers sharing a name" could happen in the first place. Section 3.2.1 of RFC 5732 doesn't say anything about name server name MUST uniqueness when creating the host object, so let's assume it happens. What gets returned in response to an <info> command that uses the name server name as the lookup value when there are multiple objects that share the same name? The <info> response doesn't support descriptions for multiple name server objects, and I don't see anything in the extension registry that describes an extension to do this.
