e embedded domain lacked support for namespaces, which forced
developers to write classes that had a number of utility functions
useful for network programming.  Now that modern C++ compilers have
better support for standard C++, we propose the following
optimizations to ACE: <P>

<LI> We will identify ACE classes and utility functions that serve a
   common goal, and move them into a namespace of their own.  Since C++
   allows a single namespace to be reopened in multiple translation
   units, we pl
