I think this is the wrong thread. :-) We are discussing the one namespace 
here. If I would be against replacing one special directive with a couple 
fundamental directives, I would have voted -1 on the other proposal, which I 
did not.

I do not think namespace declarations are dead chickens. For me declaring a 
namespace in ZCML is the same as importing a package or module in Python. You 
would not want all functions and classes in Python live in one namespace, 
would you?
