From what I've seen, gcc has problems with aspects of namespaces
(the compiler crashes when using the 'using' keyword).  I've
submitted a bug report about that (but haven't had any reply
- do the GCC people acknowledge bug reports?).

Because of that, I've avoided using namespaces in all gcc variants.

If you want information on how they are supposed to work, you
could try the C++ draft specification, which is available on the
WWW at http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/c++/pub/wp/html/cd2/
