Hello,

You are mixing correct namespacing (like railway:switch) with... mistaken 
namespacing (like hydrant:position).

Now, for the reasons for namespacing and just as an example (/it is not the 
only good reason.../), think about documentation: the documentation for 
describing a power switch should not be intermixed with the documentation 
describing power switches. The railways people got that and they did what I 
think they had to do: to namespace their switch. You didn't (/if that was 
you.../). Big mistake, IMHO: not all the switches are your switches...
