IMO there should be a CVS policy disallowing namespaces to be differentiated with dashes, underscores, spaces, and so on. This is a perfect example of the confusion this can cause.

I think that if this is something you want to do, you should try and find some of the more popular maintained modules and try to get one or two sets of projects on board. Once there are a few big projects starting down this path, I think it would really help to encourage the smaller projects to work together.
