You wouldn't need multiple TLV types. As there's
nothing in the definition that says that a given
TLV type always has a fixed length (in fact one
would expect some to definitely be different)
you could use a single TLV type with variable
length. Of course there's the issue of ensuring
these are used properly (not mixed in a way that
makes no sense) but that would be an issue for
multiple types in the same way.
