Are you sure?

Perhaps it's reasonable to use a single namespace for all the ZCML
directives defined as part of the Zope 3 release.  What about
third-party directives?  Are you saying we don't need to worry about
introducing names that conflict with third-party names we don't know
about?

That sounds short-sighted to me.  We've certainly defined several
directives here at ZC, and I'd hate to have to push them all into Zope
3 itself just to ensure we don't end up with name conflicts in the
future.

If we're using XML+Namespaces, we have to specify it, regardless of
the number of namespaces used.
