[development] Unique block titles why?

[Nic Ivy]

Oops!  I transposed titles and descriptions in my mind.

To clarify, Drupal 4.5 does _not_ require unique titles, which are  
shown to the user.  It _does_ require unique descriptions, which are  
shown to the administrator.  This satisfies my needs.

Please excuse my misplaced rant.
