That isn't exactly a compelling argument for progress.
Or maybe there won't be progress until something in
the toolkit can't do the job, or something in the
job needs a new feature.
Maybe being an elderly type, I've sat through enough
evolution of the web and the systems that predate it
to know that everything old becomes new again in
someone else's garage. We had to use nails and
hammers to build ships until someone worked out
that wrapping a surface around a nail worked out
to be a leverageable nail known thereafter as a
screw. Now not only wood, but other materials
could be used to build securely given a screwdriver.
Sigh.. the next generation of global hypermedia will
have to evolve in a different pond. Tautologies
are the dominant lifeforms in this one.

I just want to point out that I like AFs. I like the ideas behind them, and I
appreciate the arguments that have been made that they are a more general
system than namespaces. My point is that this is all abstract AFAIC, because
I don't use them. None of my tools do, and I haven't got around to using
anything that does. I do use namespaces all the time, though, and usually
with little incident, so I am naturally fine with a solution based on NS.
