Well, technically you can create multiple securities with the same symbol and 
name which are handled correctly in the engine (they get their own ID). 
Currencies though take their symbol as the ID.

I agree, it would create a mess and the user has no chance to distinguish 
between multiple securities carrying the same name and thus can open a huge 
can of worms. That's probably the reason for the 'unique security symbol' 
advice.

Hope that helps in the discussion.
