I would like to correct this a bit:  'server' and ';network' are resource
names, not namespaces.  The need for namespaces is an unfortunate
consequence of the large number of resources and lack of simple unique
names for them.  We really prefer to do things like use multi-work
resources rather than just blindly paste a prefix onto a command.

For example, there are at least three different users of 'flavor'.
 'compute flavor' was the only thing in the beginning so it naturally got
the bare 'flavor' name.  The other flavor resources ('message flavor' is
the only one I recall ATM) have another word added that acts as a type
specifier, not a blind namespace prefix.
