I don't see how you can possibly have multiple source elements.
Remember, part of the determination of what forms a valid <source>
element is the type='...' attribute tied to the <disk> parent element -
but you can't have duplicate attributes.  As I see it, a quorum HAS to
be a special chain element with 0 sources and multiple backingStore
children, where each backingStore then includes the type='...' attribute
for how to interpret the <source> element of that child.
