Unless you can show how Parent/Child is seriously damaging, I'm inclined to leave it because I'm serious about finishing 1.0 on time -- no more distractions in the quest for the perfect API -- and to rip it out would take a day's worth of effort and another debugging cycle.

Yeah, we're trying not to expose too many protected methods that we'll have to keep around in the future. printNamespace() is an internal method that shouldn't be counted on remaining over the long haul. Since you can do your subclassing and just copy/paste the method code (god bless open source) I think that's a better solution. Less elegant today, more elegant long term.

Fixed.
