Text

No location certificate may claim more than one location whether the location is made by one or several locators. If the certificate purports to claim more than one location, it is void except as to the first location described in the certificate. If the locations are described together or so that it cannot be determined which location is first described, the certificate is void for all locations described in the certificate.
