Can't have multiple moons, or a moon and a sun, in the sky at the same time.

Yep... some variations on the multiple moon or moon and sun idea have been talked about durring the AW 3.4 beta. Adding a second directional world light source would tend to reduce performance, and would reduce the number of in-scene lights available by one (in rendering modes that impose a limit). I had suggested the idea of allowing a separate moon object to be assigned, which would be effected by the world's directional light source but not by other light sources... which would give realistic moon phases. Many variations are possible. I hope some of them are explored in more detail during the AW 3.5 or AW 4.0 development cycle.
