I believe sending multiple times comes would come in if the protocol rejects messages which doesn't reference the most recently included message, as opposed to keeping them in a queue and publishing them later. Re-sending seems like a slight improvement because it gives clients the option of not re-sending if their message no longer makes sense (though most clients will likely be configured to re-send, as its easier).</div>
