Jon, Your paper was lucid and informative. However, it is silent on why (xml) namespaces are not (or should not be) hierarchical. Do you wish to elaborate on this aspect of namespaces? An abstract space doesn't necessarily have to be flat; and structured space intrinsically implies _nothing more_ than a formal relationship between its subsets. [In line with your reasoning regarding "abstract spaces", I refer you to the space of the Rationals, which is of course formally related to space of Integers; a relationship which some folks have found to be of some utility.] >(Whether names have real existence is an interesting [question ... which] >has *already* received some attention.)
