That's not very clear to me when reading the PEP.
For example, one of the items in the "overview" is "use top-level
namespace for ownership". I don't think it should be, unless we want to
promote such a practice.
Similarly, I think the section about private projects ("Private
(including closed-source) projects use a namespace") should be removed.
It is not our duty to promote naming standards for private (i.e.
internal) projects. Also, I don't see what's so important about using
your company's name as a top-level namespace. You don't need it for
conflict avoidance: you can just as well use distinctive project names.

Antoine.
