And, it turns out, has already been implemented in the Namespace Manager code, so all that is needed is to add that code to trunk*! There are a few extra features that could make it easier to use for the specific purpose given at the start of this thread (i.e. a simple version that just allows namespace addition which is available to all users, with the extra functionality (alternative names, deletion, etc.) is reserved for bureaucrats) however it is enough to make the idea workable.
Do I read this correctly in that Namespace Manager allows users to add/modify namespaces through a special page restricted by $wgGroupPermissions ? If you could get *that* implemented, it'd probably be the feature of the year :D Of course it'll probably be hell to merge post-1.10 changes into the Namespace Manager branch :(
