Rule key IDs are there to identify rules within a single layer. A rule key being repeated in a different layer should do no harm. From what I recall, the reason behind having rule keys is mainly to be able to have unique identification for legend - e.g. if user enables or disables a rule, we know which one it is based on the rule key (otherwise we would need to use indexes of rules which are likely to change when rules get added/removed/rearranged). Hope that helps....
