Things gettings reserved at a later stage (like originally keywords, now namespaces) can lead to a big deal of frustration. Therefore I think it is crucial to have a clear naming guide now. And these guidelines have to be noticed by everybody who starts to use namespaces so they have to be placed prominently. Personally I'd even prefer them to be enforced in code so they can't be missed. Removing restrictions later on causes less trouble so I wouldn't mind too much if a couple of namespaces (or namespace prefixes) are reserved but never used.
