Rene, no need to email me personally, please keep it on list. If you have worked with Java then you should know the true reason for using namespaces. See my previous email to this topic for my explanation. Namespace collision is a large cause for software blowing up when multiple programmers use their own objects from their toolkits into one large project.
Namespaces are only for the use of Classes. Unless we are talking XML or other technologies. As far as PHP, Java, VB(which uses namespaces now), C++.

(I'm new to C++, but have been programming for 20 years in Basic, for 2 years in Java, 1½ year in PHP, and besides that JavaScript, various LISP languages, and a little Pascal, so feel free to flame me for something I just don't see the point it...)
