I'm not 100% up on Herb's ADL paper either.  Herb was kind enough to  
walk me through it a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't fully  
internalized it yet.  I do recall having some concerns about backward  
compatibility, but now I don't remember the details.

In the meantime, we just need to practice good hygiene with respect  
to identifiers, namespaces and ADL.  It all pretty much works until  
you try to get too fancy. ;-)
