Okay, we're not *that* dumb :)
The namespace is a CIM concept used to separate providers, which must be "/root/something". It's part of the URI used to make CIM queries. On a Pegasus box, this actually translates to $PEGASUS/repository/root/virt, where $PEGASUS is /var/lib/Pegasus (on most machines).
I had an epidermic reaction, I didn't check further, my bad :-) Still even in the XML space people always wonder if they can dereference the namespace name to get extra informatiosn, I bet I won't be the only one confused by /root/...
