Not once someone installs a second help browser on your system ;-)

The repository ID identifies the interface that the server supports. The GOAD
server ID uniquely identifies the implementation. You can have more than one
program that implements an interface.

A good example is all the panel applets, which implement the same
IDL:GNOME/Applet:1.0 interface, but have different GOAD ID's.
