Hello,

I was only reader until now, but I want to know if I really understood the principles on which eros is based.

I think that namespace is only needed when an user want to tell some application what data he want to work on, right ? (by data I mean an unit of data like an email, an image, a text docmuent, etc...)

But data, is already represented by something, a capability to the memory space containing this data, no ?

So namespaces are used by users to access their data stored in their accounts. (I see an account just as a data container, so it will be a capability itself, holded by the authentication process, which gives a copy of it to a shell-like application, after the authentication has occured)

For me a namespace is a capability holder, in which the user choose a particular one to select some data.

Please excuse me for my poor english, and perhaps for my poor understanding of eros.
