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. len
