RE: A very basic question.

But I have never really understood what a
name-space is really refering too.

Could someone give me a small explination 
(preferably in basic englis ;-)

A name-space is used to distinguish two similarly-named things. Consider the 
domain name system (DNS) of the internet. The internet could have these 
domains: "knell.com" and "knell.net".

The local name part of each domain is the same ("knell"), but the two domains 
are distinguished by belonging to different name-spaces ("com" and "net").

Is this enough, or do you need more detail?
