[Mathieu Malaterre]

I remember at some point some people complained there were tons of 
duplicate in the DICOM names. I could only find two...

I was about to write an interface that would allow to match a DICOM Name
to a DICOM Tag and the contrary but I found out that thay are two
duplicates in the DICOM definition:

1.
Referenced Overlay Sequence
Could be either 0008 1130 or 50xx 2600

2.
Referenced Print Job Sequence
Could be either 2100 0500 or 2120 0070

Is there any particular reason why those elements have the exact same
name ? Could it be possible to get one of each to be RETIRED ?

Thanks
Mathieu
