No problem. The current encapsulation of your schema does it exactly
as you require, although at the moment the general implementation up
in the actual base classes of the xAPFramework does not.

The general version adds a block exactly as you specify it e.g.
"Block.Name". Add a subsequent block of the same name and IFF the
unique block names property is set to true will it rename the first
block to "Block.Name.1" and add the 2nd as
"Block.Name.2".

If the unique block names property is left as false, you'll end up
with:

Block.Name
{
}
Block.Name
{
}

None of this prevents you adding in "Block.Name.4" if that's what
you
want to do, or adding them in yourself manually exactly as you want
without intervention from the framework, etc etc. Ie it gives extra
options and possibilities where possible.
