Orbeon builder - naming limitations

Hi,

what is the purpose of the limitation in name convention in the builder?

" Name is already in use or incorrect "

I want to have two controls with exactly the same name e.g.

<form>

<section-1>

<Name/>

</section-1>

<section-2>

<Name/>

</section-2>

</form>

I can guess because of the structure of the resources but I think it shouldn't be a limitation.

Labels/hints/alerts should be put in the same structure as the main instance e.g.

<section-1>

<Name>

</Name>

</section-1>

<section-2>

<Name>

<label>Your girlfired name</label>

</Name>

</section-2>

</resource>

Hi Jarek,

The main motivation for this restriction is that it allows form authors to
refer to fields by name, as in `$first-name`. If the name `first-name`
wasn't guaranteed to be unique, you would also have to include the section
name when referring to it (and with the support of arbitrarily nested
sections, all the sections in the hierarchy), which in most cases creates an
unnecessary overhead.
