I remember having been told off by someone who doesn't like namespaces: 
"we are not doing like that" ;-)

But you are, like me, perfectly right using it because we could have
charging:bicycle:amperage=* different from charging:car:amperage=*

I had written a general such namespace specification with very strict logic.
But I will never publish it because of comments like above.
People don't agree on the order of the terms in the first place.

All the best,

André.
