My take on this is that selector namespaces are for preventing  
accidental name collisions.  The methods have no relationship to each  
other and invoking a super in a method defined in a namespace should  
not search search any other namespaces in scope at the original call  
site.  However, it probably *should* honor (i.e. search) any  
namespaces in scope at the site of the super call.
