[rt-devel] Article name unicity

Dear RT developpers,

I just discovered that articles names must be unique between all
classes, see RT::Article::ValidateName.

I first wrote a patch to enforce uniqueness only in article class.

So far so good, I forget that article may move between classes.

I decided to change my patch so in case of a class change, operation is
refused if an article with same name exists in target class.

Evrything looks ok now, and I'm ready to submit the patch, but ... I see
that it's possible to create articles without name (explicitely
permitted in ValidateName). Who knows the purpose of allowing empty names??

What BPS devs thinks about this?
