Maybe there's some confusion here, but this multiple response business is all related to the introduction of `resultset` in firmware 4610:

When this firmware was introduced it became possible that instead of there being a single "result" property, a "resultset" property would exist containing a list of responses. Rather than have the library act differently for older firmware results, I opted to have a consistent behaviour. As to why this change was introduced in the first place, if there's interest I can ask Philip to respond to the list tomorrow when he's in since this is more of a question of probe behaviour rather than the parser library.
Hi Daniel, OK, I guess it might be to support retrying the query on a failure but I would be keen to get confirmation from Philip. Thanks John
