Won't work, as You've found out. All of the tags - including NAME -
are global, so it will use the definition you have on the preferred
setting.

I agree that what you're trying to do does make sense, but it just
isn't supported.

Thanks for the fast reply Henrik. I guess I can live with it this way. 
As I mentioned in my initial post, it is really just a cosmetic issue in 
my opinion.
