If the functionality doesn't conceptually promote the inclusion of the variables it works on (i.e., no class variables), doesn't conceptually fit a scheme where instances can exist, and likely won't benefit from refactoring into component methods, then I could see using a namespaced function. Most of the time, though, I'd probably start out with a class method instead of a namespaced function so I could more readily adapt to OOP practices if desired as the implementation evolves.
