Depends how you read that paragraph. If you interpret 'allow binding of
multiple connected resources with the same identifier' as 'allow a
client to request identical resource names', then it should be ok
as long as the server generates another resource name for conflicting
requests (like the Google Talk server does). But if that's the case, that 
paragraph might be clarified that connected entities may not have the same 
resource.
