The issue is that some of my students are collecting papers which are
similar but different versions; eg. "Jones (1989) The Joys of EndNote" in
which there may be several versions, say in Proceedings of the EndNote
Conference and also in say Bibliographic Text Tools

eg. (a) a draft paper, or more often a conference paper and,
    (b) later, and (frequently) the same year, a revised article of the
**same name** appears in a book or a set of selected conference papers etc.


 I thought that this should be sorted out as the journal/paper etc. is
different but we find frequently that one or two or more of a set of
IDENTICALLY NAMED DOCUMENTS of different origins is merged when we
explicitly want them separately listed.
