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).

I made an incorrect comment about the tag "namespace" which would have
been a correct comment if I had instead used "name space". He responded
with an incorrect comment about the "ordinary name space", which would
have been correct (but irrelevant) if it had instead been about the
"unnamed name space". I'd be happier about the subsequent discussion if
I were sure that both of you understand that those are two different,
unrelated things.
