Further to the issues regarding non-unique region name support in Second Life, I did a bit of research regarding the rather inconsistent implementation of non-unique vs unique region name support in aspects or systems of Second Life that were developed by Linden Lab.
List of systems using/supporting modes of region name usage.
| unique |
non-unique. |
- the World Map, region search list non-unique sims have to be clicked on directly in the map, selecting a region from the list does not work- compare interesting with the results from a search for “corsica_reg9″ with “Help Island”.
- secondlife:///app/ teleportation URLs.
- slurl.com
- Linden Lab’s webmap API, get region name at co-ordinates call.
- Linden Lab’s webmap API, get co-ordinates for given region call.
- Landmarks.
- Events, old archive (uses slurl.com links).
- Events, world.secondlife.com archive. (uses slurl.com links).
- llMapDestination() provides only a region name parameter.
- llRequestSimulatorData() also only provides a region name parameter.

- The world map, display and direct-click only.
- The voice map API.
- It could be argued that by indexing Region documents by UUID, world.secondlife.com supports non-unique region names.
