> URL: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/de/comp-lang-java/faq

This is just an educated guess and suggestion, as this is a *.answers
internal standard, and not covered by something like an RFC. It is also
an "Auxiliary" header that is really part of the body of the post and
not a main header in the traditional sense.

With regard to mail and news headers that are covered in RFC's, such
duplicate headers are not allowed. Instead, one should comma-separate
multiple items for the same header. In your case, something like:

URL: http://www.dclj.de, http://de.geocities.com/uweplonus/faq, ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/de/comp-lang-java/faq

An example that might be useful as a precedent is the comma-separated
list of E-mail addresses that is the recommended format for the
Approved: header when crossposting to several moderated newsgroups.
