I thing it could be useful to add an Option so that a Property can only be used once on a page. Maybe something like [[Only usable once::true]] and [[Only usable once::false]]. The Idea is that this could prevent unwanted output in some inline queries. And in bigger wikis with a lot of users this could happen fast. In the case that a Property with the Option [[Only usable once::true]] is used twice or more in one page only the first Value schould be used an there schould be shown an errormessage.
I agree. This kind of properties is often called "functional". A simple syntactic check for multiple values would be easy, including subproperties in this check would be more difficult though. We will consider this in some future.
Re-assign to extension developer for triage/comments.

I'm guessing the easiest implementation would be to restrict per semantic data container, and thus allow for having multiple subobjects with such a (single) property per page.
