Indeed, and we've been using it extensively and have not encountered any 
blockers with moc or the metatype system thus far. So in our experience there 
are no technical blockers.

Qt3D is only a tech preview in 5.5 so we are free to change it at will. I'd 
suggest we leave it as is for 5.5.0. For 5.5.1 I'd propose we resolve the 
small namespace inconsistencies between the QML and C++ APIs as discussed 
elsewhere in this thread and see how users get on with that with a view to 
using it as a way of testing the waters for a larger rollout of namespaces for 
Qt 6. I'd propose to do this in the way that was tabled during the development 
of Qt5 but which we failed to enact upon.

For a new module I really don't see the small inconsistency c.f. the rest of 
Qt of using namespaces as an issue - especially given the other 
inconsistencies that have been discussed. Users will cope with this, I'm sure. 

I am happy to document this on the wiki as guideline proposal for new modules 
as Sze-Howe suggested.

Cheers,

Sean
