It is possible to have several identical headings on a page, but you are

a
little useless as a link destination (the first occurence on the page

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.
