Since the List_Tip entries are associated with List entries by
position there is no mapping ambiguity. Any rules about uniqueness
therefore would be only to reduce user confusion. I think we do need
to require that no two List_Tips can be identical if the List entries
they map to are NOT identical. For example if two List_Tip entries are
both "Enabled" the corresponding List entries can't be "0" and "1".

Therefore I think the first clause should be a "must", while I agree
the second clause should be a "may":

    All entries in List_Tip shall be unique, except that if two
entries in List are the same, then the corresponding List_Tip entries
can be the same.
