> Do namespaces require a class repository functionality at all?

Well, in this case I see "class repository" more in the meaning of a 
repository of files that use the namespace functionality, each file holds 
one class, each one of them bound to the file-extension ".php"

No exception here when calling  __autoload(); you could see _autoload() as a 
functionality-wrapper for include/require, adding a little bit more logic to 
it.
