Synchronization is two-ways and allowing multiple calendars would result
in duplication of events, from one calendar to the other.  

For example: Event A is in calendar 1, Event B is in calendar 2 and
Event C is in calendar 3.  When multiple calendar syncing is allowed,
all three calendars will have all the three events.

Also, there is no way to maintain "specific calendar" information in
Palm devices to detect the source-calendar of the event.  One way to
simulate "multi-calendar" syncing is to assign categories to the
calendar events.  Categories gets synced correctly.
