The idea is to make the context of the tag much more obvious. This can be
done by either using namespaces on the tag itself, or having a method of
unambiguously identifying the context of the object itself.
I don't pretend to understand what was wrong with the old class system,
which seemed to achieve this to some extent.
On the other hand, having namespaces in the tag name itself does have the
advantage that it gives people clues that they might be using the wrong
tag..
