I misread and thought you were talking about two extensions with the 
same vendor ID.  To handle concurrent vendor-extensions with different 
IDs, lets simply relax the requirement that extensions may occur only once, 
for this particular TLV.  One could already possibly interpret things this 
way, as the vendor-private extension is supposed to be ignored when the 
vendor ID does not match the station that is doing the processing.

(And also relax the requirement that extensions must exist in the NHRP 
request if they are to appear in the response, as you already did in 
your proposed text).
