right enough; there is no conflict *joy*; and it's not introducing any 
new separator's into php, and I think it makes logical sense /ponders/

I've been flittering between java, as3 and php all week and ended up 
highly confused, ditsy and using the wrong syntax everywhere - so 
apologies for my ramblings!

cheers for the reply; and thanks for all you're hard work on the 
namespaces; the RFC you wrote on the wiki really outlined the problem 
perfectly and made it more accessible to the masses.

Many Regards
