Another point, but not sure I want to get into it, is why use
namespaces anyway? They are bad for humans. If we want more people to
use AcaWikis, I'm a strong believer in using human readable forms when
possible. So, in many ways, I'd rather us use:

http://acawiki.org/Press_Hit/Some_Press_Hit_Article

and use the [[Category:Press_Hit]] on those pages.

We are forcing our namespace issue onto users of the site.

However, I will defer to the tradition of Wikipedia and *how it's been
done* on the site previously since this seems to be the case.
