And you've sort of answered the 2nd (of 4) questions yourself: it allows both to be active because it *doesn't* know which one to use. It uses the first one it finds. Consider someone doing an SPXTAPE RESTORE and loading more NSS files than they realized were on the tape: if it replaced the class A entries with the ones from the tape, all hell would/could break loose. Far better to allow the duplication and let you clean up the mess...
