<p>Hello,</p>
<p>You are mixing correct namespacing (like railway:switch) with...
mistaken namespacing (like hydrant:position).</p>
<p>Now, for the reasons for namespacing and just as an example (<i>it
is not the only good reason...</i>), think about documentation:
the documentation for describing a power switch should not be
intermixed with the documentation describing power switches. The
railways people got that and they did what I think they had to do:
to namespace their switch. You didn't (<i>if that was you...</i>).
Big mistake, IMHO: not all the switches are your switches...</p>

<div>Hi</div>

<div>Interesting thread about namespacing in tag names.</div>

<div>Spoiler: no consensus shows up at the end.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I still think that actuator=* is better than two
pipeline:valve:actuator=* and railway:switch:actuator=*
because the first is really more concise and reusable
between valves and railway switches.</div>
<div>Like I don't like fire_hydrant:position instead of
simpler location=*.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can someone brings benefits from using namespaces in this
particular situation please?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Al the best</div>
