I have thought about this, and here's how I would solve the problem.

Just make it a standard that a toolkit looks for an existing instance
of the keyword, and if it is in use, alter the keyword in a standardised
way.

Eg:

WIBBLE <ITEM>

tk9_WIBBLE <ITEM>

jms_WIBBLE <ITEM>

But that's just me.

Also, I would expect different versions of the same keyword to work in the
same way. Wouldn't it be nice if toolkits had the capability to allow you
to PLUG and UNPLUG keywords at will, so you could just load the ones you
wanted?

Of course, there would have to be limits, or someone could UNPLUG UNPLUG
;)
