I find namespaces are useful for certain things, but probably not what you are thinking of.

I use namespaces for structured information, especially time-indexed. For example, I found it useful to have namespaces for "Minutes" (meeting notes) with pages named like "20070125". Then we added two namespaces called "Events" and "Newsletter" -- each has similar page-naming.

So namespaces are how we simulate time-sequential systems (like blogs and bulletin boards) without the danger of collisions.

I think for most other purposes, they aren't so useful as an organizing method.
