A couple things to note.
1) The spec currently does not state this.  revision-ids are described as   
unique amongst the set of other revision-ids on a resource but labels are   
much more weakly defined.

2) If names are in fact unique, then why do we have rsr-label and   
rsr-revision-id elements?  There should just be an rsr-name element as a   
names are labels or revision-ids.
