NSS db nicknames with NSS_InitContext()

It looks like when multiple NSS databases are initialized using 
NSS_InitContext() the nicknames can take multiple forms depending on 
order of initialization. Using the multinit program and three NSS 
certificate databases with identical nicknames I saw the following names 
associated:

(first initialized) Server-Cert
(second initialized) NSS Certificate DB:Server-Cert
(third initialized) NSS Application Token 00000005:Server-Cert

Is this expected/dependable behavior?

It sorta looks like with that third initialization it also has each of 
the previous two nicknames as well.

It seems like rule of thumb is that using multiple databases with the 
same nicknames is a terrible idea and unpredictable, just looking for 
confirmation.

thanks
