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.

It is interesting that one of the possible futures of the Internet --
PARC's NDN (Named Data Networking) -- resembles Plan 9's namespaces where
the user is most interested in the name of the resource rather than where
it resides (e.g. users/programs care about  /mnt/factotum or /n/sources
rather than where it's imported from).
