I think I may speak for others when I say in response to this list "che?" wot are you on about? "identical" to what? Do you just mean that the phrases on your list are all used more than once?

yes. well, not phrases, whole descriptions. I took all the <desc> and <ident> contents, and a sort -u on them, finding 78 duplicates. eg title.xml: <desc versionDate="2007-06-27" xml:lang="en">abbreviated form of title</desc> titlePart.xml: <desc versionDate="2007-06-27" xml:lang="en">abbreviated form of title</desc> both of which come from possible values for @type. makes you think. not a lot, but a bit.
