[Bug c++/16468] [DR460] using-declaration of namespace name

Possibly nothing, though it seems (from the DR) as if the makers 
of the standard intended the using declaration for names of classes, 
functions, variables, etc. For namespaces why not use the using 
directive 
  using namespace namespace-name; 
which seems to be the more obvious choice anyway? 
 
Given that the DR lists that this should be an error, it seems unlikely 
that this 'bug' will be fixed in the direction which you seem to prefer.
