Yes there is - mainly that the user has no idea that they are referring to the
same thing!

What happens if someone has an existing conf file, upgrades, sees
the new token (or is cutting and pasting from some googled example), and adds
it. It is possible that something set up by the first token would be confused
or get broken by the appearance of the second? eg

        agentSecName wallace
        monitor ....
        ...
        iquerySecName grommit
        monitor ****

Would both monitor statements work?

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
