Yes, this is the object of a request for evolution, and of course I
don't want to have to change dar upon each new namespace that could
appear in the future. Historically (may 2002) when I read the
documentation provided by Andreas Gruenbacher (Author of EA/ACL) only
two namespaces were defined and it seemed there were no need to have
some more... :-)
