--- do you have a real world example of where this would be a problem?
The old technorati kitchen crawled the web and allowed you to search
it. Having repetitions actually allowed for a nice merging of the
data.

--- again, this would depend on the format in question. The existance
of multiple events with the same timestamp and name could be used to
merge data, UIDs and URLs could be as well, but everything could be
gamed.

But this isn´t unique to microformats, other semantic technologies
would have this issue as well. There was talk of a rel-canonical
awhile ago, but it wasn't big enough a problem to pursue.

If you have an example we could work through it.
