This puts the responsibility of correct behavior with the user.  I do not
like that.  Most users do not read the specs.

The XML specification says that all messages shall be validated, and if
not correct, the message shall be refused.  So, the answer I am looking
for is whether the re-appearance of an ID in a message is a capitical
offence, or should be treated mildly.  That will dictate whether it should
be an error or a warning.

There is a lot of "informal specification" with XML Schemas, which you
need to know for good interoperability.
