Thanks for the speedy reply. I ran into it because I have a CMF tool
for organizations, which has valid org codes as properties, and
contains organization objects. I was converting data from a relational
database and wouldn't you know, there was an org code with the same
name as an organization. So I guess I'll hack around by lowercasing the
org ids, and letting the org code property ids be all caps.
