Hi,

As far as I'm concerned, my preference goes to:

2. use a different separator between namespace name and element [with
a plea for not using :::]
Yes, please change the resolution order to 1. if blah::Exception
exists, use it 2. try to autoload blah::Exception 3. if internal class
Exception exists, use it

With that said, while I truly appreciate my opinion being taken under
consideration, I also hope that decisions won't be made or pushed
based on poll numbers alone (even though I don't remember any such
occurence in the list's past) and that greater weight will be given to
those who are already using namespaces in big, open, projects, such as
the Typo3 guys. It would be bad if an anonymous crowd speculating on
issues they have yet to encounter could overweight the bunch of guys
who have actually been using namespaces for month. I mean, if an
anonymous crowd can get a MTV award to Rick Astley, they can get
anything voted as namespace operator! :)

Anyway, thanks for the tally, it gives a better overview of people's opinions.
