If they _are_ globally scoped,  what part of the local system decides which 
namespace to use, the ONION, the LOCAL, the P2P, the BIT, the BBSS, the 
DECnetV, the IXP, or the DNS…
where is search order determined?  Does first match in any namespace win?  What 
is the tiebreaker when there are label collisions between namespaces?
