I still don't see the problem, i.e. what you are trying to do.

in order for a namespace= to be non-empty, it will need binds or mounts
somewhere. =C2=A0even a "global" (i'm assuming by global you = mean in /lib/namespace)
bind will not work well with history. =C2=A0since the namespace isn't f= ancy enough
to do rewriting based on pattern matching. =C2=A0(thank god!).

i suppose you could write a script, but such a script would need to generat= e
a set of binds for each day of the dump. =C2=A0are you ready for a 350*(1 += 2136)
line namespace?
