>On the other hand, are you talking about a system which works like Java >packages, where there is a hierarchy of modules? Well, all of the above (although I am in the dereferencing crowd : )). Being able to define modules within namespaces would be great-- we can sort of do that now... but it is clumsy. Can you imagine using JAR tools for namespace packages. An RDDL document could still be used to describe the contents of the JAR. Another interesting thought would be centered on importing namespaces and prefixing. In Java you only _need_ to prefix your types when there is a conflict. Apart from that-- just the general phrase "package" vs. "namespace" seems to be an improvement. I am not complaining (I will save that for a different thread), these are just thoughts bouncing around in my head...
