The right thing to do is re-whack this completely.  The design document
that Stephen wrote -- the one about package namespaces -- doesn't match
the code we have in the gate.  In order to get this to work correctly,
we have to stop considering authorities to be a separate and disjoint
namespace.  This is something that's already in the document, but it
doesn't match the code, or the original guidance I received when writing
the multiple authorities implementation.

We'll need to sit down and talk about this some more next week, assuming
everybody has the time to do so.
