After all that has been said and done since this post:
http://marc.info/?l=php-dev&m=118355320225178&w=2
Is it safe to say that this functionality laid out is still
representative of what is involved in the "namespace" patch?
Or, is there a wiki / proposal page somewhere that would better
exemplify what is attempting to be accomplished?

What is "namespaces"? Here's wikipedia:
A namespace is a context in which a group of one or more identifiers
might exist. An identifier defined in a namespace is associated with
that namespace. The same identifier can be independently defined in
multiple namespaces, that is, the meaning associated with an identifier
defined in one namespace is independent of the same identifier declared
in any other namespace. Languages that support namespaces specify the
rules that determine which namespace an occurrence of an identifier (ie,
not its definition) belongs to.

So why those are not namespaces?
