It's not just you.  It is implicit in the 
notion of namespaces, first, and in the 
idea that if they identify anything, they 
might identify something architectural.

You might want to ask yourself personally 
why the concept reemerges frequently.  If a 
control emerges, it is usually in response to some 
form of ontological entanglement that is 
naturally occurring.

Is it just me, or is there an odor of architectural forms 
in the room? -Tim
