Request to name the "no namespace" namespace

Hello,
This is a request from a somewhat exasperated CSS Namespaces [1] editor.
Can you please assign the "no namespace" namespace a name? It's very hard
to talk about it and make conformance requirements that involve it when
it doesn't have a name.

(Bonus points for explicitly associating it with the empty string --
explaining how the empty string represents it while keeping it distinct
from the idea of an empty string namespace name is also difficult.)
