If you refer to the "patches should be understandable in printed form"
principle: It's already violated as you don't know, which [prepend],
[urn], [scale] etc. is used in a patch when it's only printed. 

But, yes: This would be worse, if you wouldn't even know, which [+ ]
object is used, depending on which namespace is active. 

However I don't want to be forced to write patches like: 

 [pdcore/float]
 |
 [pdcore/mult 2]
 |
 [pdcore/osc~]
 |\
 [pdcore/dac~] 

Ciao
