AFAIK, they work well for Pd objects and binary objects.  The only  
difference I know of is that with binaries, if you load and object  
with the namespace prefix, then it will also claim the class name  
without the prefix, i.e. using [maxlib/change] will claim [change] as  
well.  That doesn't happen with objects written in Pd.

But yes, just because there are namespaces, does not mean that you  
should give generic names to your objects.  Objects should still have  
names that describe their function well and are hopefully unique.
