The XSLT 1.0 spec doesn't say very much in section 6, Named Templates

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#named-templates

, but it does say this:

It is an error if a stylesheet contains more than one template with the same
name and same import precedence.

You indicated you weren't sure whether this was a valid question for the
list. I think that before asking *any* question on the list, you should take
some steps to find out the answer from reference sources. If you can't find
the answer, then it becomes a valid question.
