I understand that initially you might have not used the most
accurate [standards-] term; that was not my point. I merely
wanted to point out that [as to my reading] Scott wanted to
make a different clarification (IMO a nit-pick, if you want);
to extend your explanation (of ordinary unnamed] 'namespace's
by mentioning named 'namespace's). Whether you wanted to say
"name space" or whether you meant 'namespace'. - That was all;
no deeper thought, no principal disagreement. :-)

(But it's also possible I misinterpreted Scott's intention.)

I anyway shouldn't have bothered to make any comment on that
in the first place, I admit. It's minor, of little relevance.
