While the conversation has primarily focused on the Company
(Organization) level, it is my experience working with the Fortune 500 that
the same name is often used differently between departments/functions. Then
considering buying/selling of other divisions/companies that periodically
occurs, the Namespace mechanism must be fluid.

No Tim, that's the answer. Common goals achieved by
common means, not common control. Put the definitions in
place by performance, not uberNamespace. It has to
breathe, my friends, like a good well performed piece
of music, it has to breathe.
The standards wonks really need to study management
and contract negotiation. OASIS and BIZTALK are
the absolute wrong way to do this. This means a
marvelous lucrative opportunity is sitting there being
ignored. Someone or some company will get rich
off this if they go to these companies and demonstrate
the right way to do this.
