If it is costly, one wonders about the definition 
of integrity if it has to be defended post hoc.

Namespaces don't belong in the core.

That's a pretty compelling argument, IMHO.  As I implied in an earlier
reply to Len, conceptual integrity has a "value" all its own, even though
that is hard to quantify in a cost/benefit analysis.
