I would say that existence of two parameter elements of the same 
namespace with the same name in a container element (here it's the key) 
indicates an error situation. But if it was possible I would drop 
merging and stay with parameters elements even representing the same 
namespace (merging could be done after checking but maybe dropping would 
be the simplest solution).
