I think you're confusing parsing for grokking. Namespace support is merely candy coating for naming conventions. Namespaces have the same collision problems that class naming and function naming have. Only confined to the name of the namespace itself. This is identical to using a prefix when naming your classes or functions. The only thing namespaces bring to the table beyond that, is the ability to shorthand the class names within the namespace... as I said candy coating. If everyone had named their classes and functions with appropriate prefixes then this would be a non-issue. Seriously, how were so many people so short-sighted to think that only they would ever call a class "Date". There's only a few million other candidate developers out there with the similar ideas. Hope this clears up your confusion, although I doubt you were particularly confused. Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
