PMP> chLPDServer(8) enumeration for channel group

I noticed in the channel group that LPD servers can only have one queue associated. The "Multiplicity" specification is "single".
This implies that for printer-resident LPD servers that want to support more than one queue, that multiple channel group rows would
exist (multiple instances of chLPDServer) ?
Was this what we were thinking? Or would changing the "multiplicity" capability of chLPDServer
to "multiple" be easier. I'm not sure why we just didn't use "multiple", since this still does not preclude an implementation from
still having separate row instances of chLPDServer. But at the same time, it saves redundant rows in the table when a printer only
wants to expose very few queues, say just 2 or 3.

Would the scope of this change be possible given our current state of the document?
