foo:bar doesn't appear to be a valid name in Houdini.
Should the : be dropped or changed to something else?

Just for reference, if you try to type ':' when renaming a Houdini node, it
automatically converts the ':' to an underscore. I would suggest using two
underscores so the name can be parsed and converted back on export.

In my opinion Alembic should strip namespaces from objects on export.
They are a Maya-only thing (and also pretty annoying things to deal with at
the best of times) and therefore not generic, so probably shouldn't be
exported into a generic file format.

We do strip them, typically, but I personally thing the Alembic Archive in
Maya should handle the case of illegal characters more gracefully. Ideally
it would give the option to replace them with something (or nothing).
