Hi Peter, thanks for discussing this. It's not a matter of life and death though, I can live with the way things are now. I just thought initially the restriction is fairly artificial seeing that the layer names are stored in inkscape:label. The reason why I wanted to name multiple layers the same is this -- http://blip.tv/file/1077148

It's not much of a showstopper for me though, and I feel bad for wasting your time, guys. Nevertheless thank you for listening to your whiney users :)

I asked JonCruz about it. He said there's no particularly strong reason for it, and he's fine with reverting that change if you think it better.

There are also a couple of other proposals for reducing harm; see http://inkscape.gristle.org/2008-07-14.txt from 19:53 onwards (though ignore the first few lines :-) ).

I thought it valuable to have your opinion. Consider discussing on #inkscape.
