Mounting the naming system somewhere in the global namespace?
Or maybe URL-style stuff, if we didn't have to stick to the unix
namespace (which we would): setfs://foo/bar/

Of course, supposing all files are not in a global namespace, 
a private namespace is a capability system: to give a program 
an access to a file, the program giving the capability would 
map it in the requesting program's namespace and naming system
(at a requested location). 

But I'm not to keen on namespaces private to processes...
