I thought I agreed with this until I thought about the complexity of namespaces. To carry the analogy to the end you would have to support default namespaces. Essentially, this would be equivalent to building two separate structures out of Legos, a Red one and a Blue one, then by attaching Red one to the Blue one all of the Blue blocks would suddenly change to Red. I don't know if there is an equivalent to namespaces in the Lego Metaphor. Though, I would be very interested to see someone try to map Joe English's namespace breakdown to analogous Lego constructions. :-) All the best, Jeff Rafter
