> Steven King wrote two books named The Stand, and one isn't anything like the other

Then those two texts would map to different ISBNS, or perhaps each maps to multiple different ISBNs, it doesn't matter. That some texts exist with the same title but different content is similarly irrelevant.

The content is all that matters. Two different bodies of content, two different entries in the archive. Each entry may map to one or more ISBN numbers.

> the differences actually matter to the rest of us

The only differences that matter are what matters to the archive that made the blog post. Your concerns are for entirely different things, which is fine, but don't say the OP's concerns or initiatives are impossible or ill-suited based on a criteria you're projecting onto them.
