Efficiency, and to avoid cluttering if you have recorded
several time stamps in an entry.  See, the problem is that
all these lines will look exactly the same in the agenda,
because they all show the same headline!

However, I do see that your applications, with a different
time-of-day, does in fact make sense.

Anyway, get the latest version and do

    (setq org-agenda-find-multiple-timestamps-per-entry t)

Question to everyone:  Should this be the default?
