Well, it breaks the parser, somehow. Indeed, it expects from an
affiliated keyword such as #+results: (or #+caption for that matter) to
have only one secondary value. Sexp representation of these keywords is
already very complicated, it will not help to add values ad nauseum.

Also, if you use Org time-stamp syntax, at some point, someone will ask
the parser to be able to parse it. And it won't.

Eventually, it doesn't help to have hash syntax match Org links. This is
confusing.

Therefore, if this feature really has to be introduced, I suggest, at
the very least, to avoid using Org regular syntax for the reference to
time. It would also help to blur distinction between the time and the
hash string. Perhaps something like the following:

  #+results[2013-01-30T20:15:37 hash-string]: name

Thank you.


Regards,
