That's what I recalled seeing previously on the list (I'm not a zope person, although that use looks fairly neat..) My use of them right now is to namespace my form variables, so that a page can have many modules that are unaware of each other, and all be submitted at once (the user can change a value in more than one module without refreshing after each little change), and then the modules are handed their individual field dictionaries minus the namespace, to process as needed. Only the outer system knows about the namespaces, and knows what real module corresponds to each.
