Currently for Pd-extended it's kind of opaque or mysterious how
externals or libraries got their namesspace names.  As all the objects
need to be in their own directory to not overwrite each others
nameclashes, it was natural to takes directory names from CVS and then
somehow the directory names got promoted to namespaces, even when the
original authors never intended to use their CVS-directory names as
namespace. Iemlib is one example, list-abs is another.

Who makes the decision about what words to use as namespace prefixes?
The author of the library? Pd-list? Everone on her/his own? Hans? 

Ciao
