Well, since these interfaces are derived from IEnumerated, their 
implementations are derived from Enumerated. I want that to go away, 
too, of course. Where it says, "IEnumerated doesn't make sense for 
multi-line strings", I read "Functionality promised in IEnumerated 
doesn't make sense for multi-line strings", which is exactly my 
reasoning for removing Enumerated from these Fields.
