Sure. I'm envisioning that namespaces will have ACLs --- that's what
will keep private namespaces private. So, while public would by default
be world-writable (at least in the backwards-compatibility case),
there'd be nothing stopping you from marking it as read-only to some
users.
Come to think of it, that's still another reason not to have an "any"
wildcard: there's no way to put any restrictions on what appears in
such a namespace.
