Yes, this is discussed in draft-dressler-ipfix-aggregation, more
specifically in:

Section 6.2. ("Multiple Aggregation Rules")
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dressler-ipfix-aggregation-05#page-8>

It does complicate the export of information about the aggregation
process, though.


btw (just in case you were wondering what stance the draft takes
regarding the other issue): It's currently mandating the presence of all
of a cache's configured fields:

Section 6.1 ("Single Aggregation Rule")
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dressler-ipfix-aggregation-05#page-7>


Regards,
