Hmmm. If I understand this correctly (and I may not), this would work but it might not be maintainable. Here's why: From what I've seen of Aegis, the namespace mappings are specified on a per-object basis. The objects I am dealing with a fairly complex (i.e. many layers of nested objects) and they are maintained by other developers. The first object change that did not have a corresponding Aegis config change might break the service.
In any case I'll still give this a try. Hopefully I will find a magic switch in Aegis that simplifies the overriding of namespaces. I'll let you know how it goes.
