Seems like it's really hard to find usefull names in the case of WorldMap. I 
can't say that I like NS_WorldMap one bit but if there's no other way one 
will have to live with it.
But I'd be very disinclined to use NS_ on every namespace.

Nice to hear that you found a solution. To me it's quite equal wheter 
namespaces are indented or not - as long as they span over the remaining 
file. On the other hand, indention was never the reason why I wanted to get 
rid of namespace pingus - the reason was and is that I see no usage in it.
I suppose that you don't want to indent namespaces anymore? It would be nice 
if you do an unindent of the whole code then. Doesn't look nice if the 
indention for two methods differ...
I did this already for editorobjs/* and I may do it for the other namespaces 
too if emacs has no method to change the indention of a given section of 
code. (or rather: if you don't know it. I can't imagine emacs lacking this.)
