AP §2.2 Multiple Names and variations

"In order to handle the contradictions in the above general standard, _a 
Member may record multiple Names or multiple variations of a Name in her 
CAcert online Account_. Examples of variations include married names, 
variations of initials of first or middle names, abbreviations of a 
first name, different language or country variations, and 
transliterations of characters in a name."

Since the system can not handle this the current solution for this I 
know about is to have multiple accounts.

So why does AP include this if there is no need at all for this?
