/**
 * Namespace base class.
 * <p>
 * This class and subclasses define a namespace for the creation and management
 * of ID instances. Creation of ID instances is accomplished via the
 * {@link #createInstance(Object[])} method, implemented by subclasses of this
 * Namespace superclass.
 * <p>
 * All Namespace instances must have a unique name passed to the Namespace upon
 * construction.
 * <p>
 * Typically Namespace instances are created via plugins that define extensions
 * of the org.eclipse.ecf.namespace extension point. For example, to define a
 * new Namespace subclass XMPPNamespace with name "ecf.xmpp" and add it to the
 * ECF extension registry:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *        &lt;extension
 *             point=&quot;org.eclipse.ecf.namespace&quot;&gt;
 *          &lt;namespace
 *                class=&quot;XMPPNamespace&quot;
 *                name=&quot;ecf.xmpp&quot;/&gt;
 *        &lt;/extension&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * @see ID
