If by "namespace" you mean "vocabulary" (e.g. akin to http://sw.nokia.com/VOC-1/Vocabulary) then the use case is very appropriate and I support it's inclusion in the draft doc. If by "namespace" you mean an XML namespace name, as used as a syntactic mechanism in some serialization grammar for capturing the structure of an RDF graph, then I think this use case is subsumed by the more general use case applying regular expression comparisions to node labels.
