Description

DS 1.1 introduced an unnoticed change in the specification of the component name: While DS 1.0 required the component name to be globally unique this has been relaxed in DS 1.1 where the component name must "only" be unique within the bundle.

Our implementation still forces component names to always be unique. We should differentiate between 1.0 and 1.1+ components: names of 1.0 components must be globally unique while 1.1 (and later) components must be unique within the bundle.
