Good tools ensure that key IDs are unique per zone. For example, if you
keep generating keys for a zone with `dnssec-keygen` it will eventually
get into an infinite loop perpetually generating colliding keys!

Apart from the footgun that Anand described, the reason for keeping key
IDs unique per zone is so that a validator can quickly skip keys that
can't possibly match an RRSIG or DS record.
