user@domain identity form musings

[M. David Peterson]

By centralized namespace I assume you mean having a centralized system that 
each node relies upon to complete a transaction? This is not what I am 
suggesting at all. This is a backdoor, lets keep things solid and tight and 
allow easy access to each other without requiring anything. Think of it as 
more of a Subversion-styled system where everything is independent and yet 
with the proper credentials can be given access to the latest tagged bits or 
check code into a stream, etc... 

You can be independent without being severed completely from a system. 
Having backdoor access allows for exactly this.
