That is why namespaces shouldn't be in the core as long as 
they are tied to a system and are resolvable.  Identity isn't 
a property.  Identification is a process.  It's systemic.

We were beaten down with the "oh well, just because they 
can resolve doesn't mean we told them they could" arguments 
before.  It leads to unreliable implementations and unpredictable 
results.  Because the jury is out on almost everything beyond 
punctuation, there is no need to make a change now.  Enough of
the slippery slopes of minimalism.
