Okay, here's a quick scoop and status.

*) I'd like to shoot for a Feb 14th release. Names wanted. (I'm
partial to the bleeding heart release, but not that partial)

*) Namespaces are going to use the:

   find_global Px, [key; key; key], final_name_string

format. I may add in a dummy:

   find_global Px, Pn[key], final_name

in the mean time just to make things work out. Pn will get ignored.

If you have the key and leave out the element, it returns a PMC that
represents that piece of the namespace. Yes, I know there are
objections, but it's a matter of taste and space savings. We'll cope.

*) Just constant keys for names right now. We'll work on dynamic keys
later, if we don't already have 'em in.

*) I like Tim's namespace idea (prepending the language) and we'll
put that in, though probably for the next release.

*) I'm just going to get the final damn object stuff finished. It's
80% there and I should just stop wincing every time I look at
objects...

*) It's time for doc patches! If folks have helpful suggestions or
experiences, post a patch to docs/practical_notes.pod in a =head2
section. Not as good as a full tutorial, but better than nothing.
Patch at the top so things slot in with a minimum of patch whining.

*) I'll try and patch up the docs, and I'll concentrate on the PDDs,
but any help on them is greatly appreciated. *Especially* IMCC docs.
