Subject: 'Sanity' tally to date
From: steph@php.net ("Steph Fox")

Please can those people who didn't already express a clear and relevant
opinion, express it now? We don't have long to play with this if there's to
be namespace support in 5.3.

At present it looks like a two-horse race between #1 full disambiguation
(:::) and #3 explicit disambiguation ('use namespace').

Method of tally: anything that would be acceptable to the voter gets a
point. (A weighted version is also offered here.)

D/S means 'with different separator'.
