Strictly speaking that's true. However, in practice it's sometimes more convenient to treat Gnulib as part of the implementation. This is particularly true when Gnulib is emulating or fixing an implementation. When that happens, there's little practical reason to insist strictly that Gnulib use only the application namespace, and there can be some benefit to having Gnulib use part of the implementation namespace. This sort of thing is done reasonably routinely in Gnulib.
