Aapo, the problem here is that the way it's always been done is to use one
.TLD for the tags. Separate namespaces all end up using the same .TLD, so
<html:select /> and <ww:select /> are actually equivalent.

It would, however, be trivial (IMHO) to break the .TLD into multiple files
much as Sitemesh does, which would allow different *real* namespaces (the
"html" and "ww" there) to point to different implementations (which one
.TLD does not allow).

However, I'd also caution that having "select" in two namespaces is
potentially confusing, although legitimate. "ww:select" might be "select a
value from the VS" whereas "html:select" might be "construct an HTML
select input element," but be aware that the current webwork users will be
expecting one apparent namespace instead of two.

Just things to think about...
