Opinion about support for multiple NIP-05 domains on one pubkey
I want to propose an idea of adding support for multiple verified domains using the NIP-05 standard. Practically this could be achieved by changing the nip05 field of the profile object to a list of NIP-05 addresses instead of one address. Because of the nature of the suggestion, it is a potentially breaking change, so I would like any opinion on this proposal first if you think its a good idea and if its wanted by the community.
This is a breaking change, and would break some implementations which rely on users only having one NIP 05 (Ditto for one). A new address type could be created which does handle this, but it would likely result in a broken UX if users aren't sure which address type is being used in a given context.

I like it. IMHO, it should have been this way from the start. But when NIP-05 was made, it was solving a narrow problem.
Amethyst has switched to the model where you can just put the metadata on the tag array itself: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1770
In that model, you can add as many Nip05 you want.
This is something I have proposed before and I fully support it.
A person can belong to two organizations. Many people do. Each organization can provide a NIP-05 identity. Why would that person have to pick one?
There could still be one identity which is considered the primary one, if that is needed for some applications, but the other ones should work just as well. Ditto should really not require the presence of only one identity, however. On the contrary, the same user should be allow to join multiple Ditto instances.
@dtonon suggests a new field which would contain an array of identities other than the primary one: https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq77777lz9hvwt86xqrsyf2jn588ewk5aclf8mavr80rhmduy5kq9qqsz4duvzxaay70dt7lg4qg52jvrjxjt724z46uxuh6cw4atsk5z3sgzh5umc
