As I've said previously, I'm neutral to the namespace thing. I imagine
I'll realize advantages in the future, but given that I try to keep my
code backward compatible until the death of a version, I don't think
I'll be using them until about 2012. However, having said that, I would
also have to say I'm in the braces camp. The above example while
perfectly valid, is an obvious hack and throws a little WTF factor at
anyone viewing it :)

Cheers,
Rob.
