Should a Person have multiple honorificPrefixes?

Should a person have several honorificPrefixes?

<abbr itemprop="honorificPrefix">Prof.</abbr>
<abbr itemprop="honorificPrefix">Dr.</abbr>
<abbr itemprop="honorificPrefix">iur.</abbr>
<span itemprop="givenName">John</span>
<span itemprop="familyName">Doe</span>

Or should the title be considered as one long prefix instead?

<abbr itemprop="honorificPrefix">Prof. Dr. iur.</abbr>
<span itemprop="givenName">John</span>
<span itemprop="familyName">Doe</span>

I think it makes more sense to use only one honorificPrefix property, for two reasons:

  • Schema.org does not define what multiple honorificPrefix properties represent. Should the values be concatenated, or should they be interpreted as alternatives?

  • Depending on the used syntax, property values might be unordered. So in case the values would be concatenated, it wouldn’t necessarily be clear if it’s "Prof. Dr. iur.", or "Dr. Prof. iur.", or "iur. Prof. Dr." etc.

A good reason for using multiple honorificPrefix properties could be a case where you provide the prefix in multiple languages.
