RFC 5280, section 4.1.2.2:

"It [the serial number] MUST be unique for each certificate issued by a
given CA (i.e., the issuer name and serial number identify a unique
certificate)."


And a question: Is there anything in PKIX that bans two issuers with
the same key but different name (that has happened) from issuing a
certificate with the same serial number?

I checked baseline requirements, I did not see anoything banning
that (albeit the entropy requirements make it unlikely).
