      When the Multi-Release attribute was "invented", it was thought to be a binary attribute, either it was present or not, the value did not matter. In practice, the value is almost always true. Also, since the attribute is parsed with a modified Boyer-Moore search, we can further decrease false positives by looking for the value "true". So, enforcing a "true" value is both consistent with current practice and a more accurate indicator.
