2 A records for a single 1 IP, why not?

I was chatting with someone who said "multiple A records is
acceptable" (he's got A records for ns1.domain.com and domain.com
using the same IP) Now I know it won't make it past nslint but why it
is a 'bad thing'?

Reverse lookups come to mind but I wonder about their importance as my
reverse resolves to a subdomain of my ISP, not my domin, and that
doesn't appear to cause any problems. 

My sub question is what, if any, limitations do I have with a reverse
that doesn't resolve to my domain.?
