for example, one of Plan 9's 3 central design principles is that the file
name space is customizable on a per-process basis.  in contrast, the Hurd
retains the Unix design choice that at any given time, every process 'sees'
the same file name space (modulo a file that is deleted while a process
still has it open and probably other minor situations).

I'm relatively new to 9 and to Hurd, so if that is wrong, say so.
