Duplicated and consolidated facts

The target instance of an Inline XBRL document preserves all facts irrespective of duplication.

Section 6.5.12 indicates that duplicate facts are generally disallowed, except when the values are the same. Duplicate facts having consistent values are consolidated into a single fact having the maximum specified or inferred decimals value.

Section 6.24.5 describes treatment during rendering: when there are duplicated facts as defined by 6.5.12, only one fact is selected.
