Hrmm..

For one, keep in mind that these names are for the User's beneifit, not 
the node's... In reality, "Charles"'s nodelist is a unique USK, at 
USK at XCVNDFJGGSSDGSDG...

So that means that the User might get confused, but the node knows the 
difference between them.

Because the node knows the difference between them (the node knows teh 
difference between the charles that Alice added, and the charles Bob 
added, since the File includes the original USK), you can prioritize- 
You can tell the name resolver to draw from the lists in in order of 
their place in the file.. So if you have


Alice USK at SDASD
Charles USK at BBBBBB
Charles USK at SDGSDGSDGSDG
Bob USK at SDFBJISDG


Your name resolver will trust the top one more than the second, and so on.

Doing it that way automatically passes the order on to the people 
subscribed to your list.. They inherit your trust relationship, and your 
priority by default.


I think in practice, link pages would end up being uniquely named.
Do you have a better suggestion, without giving each node a user-facing 
generated number?
