Executable instructions are still data to a computer. The typical scenario described for namespaces are that there is an element with the same name in two namespaces with radically different meanings and we want to combine these two sources of data, in such a case we need to have a way to differentiate between the combined data otherwise we do not know what the meaning is of the data. Namespaces are thus essential to understanding the meaning of the data, whether said data is 'behavioral' or of the sort that people more generally talk of when they discuss 'DATA'
