Possibly. I think though that the old adage of "Those who don't know unix
will imitate it, poorly" will apply here.
Really I think that's the internet in a nutshell. Http is like 9p except more
complex and less flexible, as is ftp. Email is a mess and in a similar state.
I think whatever imitation of namespaces gets done for the net will be in a
similar state.
