Wrong conclusion. If there is no solution, it's worth asking for the reasons.
And they are clearly marked since years: Abuse of a hierarchical system by
applying multiple projections causing ambiguity.

There are two ways out:
  - drop the uniqueness constraint or
  - drop the all projections.

The latter one is not arguable, due to the implication: "You should not name."

The first one is currently under discussion: It comes out that dropping this
constraint converts the DNS into a search engine. But this consequence was
not preferred, too.

Of course, there is a third way: Give the monopoly of the hierarchical
system to the lawers. This is the way we are all going.
