What happens if both /nirs(i)/data(j)/measurementLists and /nirs(i)/data(j)/measurementList are both present

As asked in the in person meeting

As an end user, if both fields are present they should contain the same data and you could load either.

We should surely enforce that only one is present?

I like the idea of having the validator enforce that only one be present. BUT This could be annoying for the user, many of whom will not be skilled enough to fix their snirf file if it had both. But I could go either way. Who has strong feelings one way or the other?

@dboas if we specify that only one should be present, then compliant software will never write both to a file, and hence the user will never encounter this problem, right?
