No. Each individual field must be uniquely named, so "[Foo,Bar] Attrib3"
wouldn't work. You would have two fields, "[Foo] Attrib3" and "[Bar]
Attrib3".  Otherwise, how would you sort out the fact that they may have
two different unrelated values? It's just that the names of the fields
happen to be the same.
