ups yes, you're right (it seems I take always the other all-in-one-approach):
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Extension_Identifiers
"the identifier MUST be unique. This is also the case when two extensions are 
logically the same but support different platforms. In this case one can 
achieve this uniqueness by adding a platform string to identifier. "

Nice we caught your attention. According to 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Target_Platform
"Do not confuse these tokens with those used to specify a native library in 
the manifest.xml. We will unify the use of the tokens in one of the future 
releases."

I couldn't find any issue about this in the issue tracker. Do you have any idea 
if this is already planned?
(This will be the real solution for the OP)
