It is possible to have several identical headings on a page, but you are not allowed to have duplicate id attributes within a page, so it's not as simple as just using the section name as is currently the case. Note that duplicate values for the 'name' attribute is perfectly valid HTML, though a little useless as a link destination (the first occurence on the page will always be used). Actually, come to think of it, how does the TOC handle this?
Headings that would have a name attribute identical to an earlier heading will have a number appended to the name to make it unique. So no problem there.
But then section links will be incorrect if the order of the duplicate headings changes. Mind you, I'm not sure if there's a way to avoid that, short of giving each section a permanent ID at the point it is first saved.
