I am catching up with the program; what I was worried about did not actually 
occur in the code.

Hints are used as part of the configuration of a factory; and there are 
mechanisms in place to make sure two factories configured the same way - do not 
occur. So when you ask the FactoryRegistery for a factory with a specific set 
of hints it will either give you the matching factory; or create a new one and 
remember it for next time.

So I was getting worried about using NamespaceSupport in this manner; as 
NamespaceSupport is pretty specific - and not really a very good value object 
(ie we don't even know if it implements "equals" and is suitable for use in a 
factory registery as described above).

Turns out that the NamespaceSupport is only passed in during evaluation; indeed 
we could of just used a normal java.util.Map and we would of been just as happy.
