It's nice about XML namespaces how they can by definition never collide,
but this degree of engineering perfection causes us a lot of overhead.
The PSYC approach is to just extend the name of the method - as long as
people use differing method names, protocol extensions can exist next
to each other happily. Method name unicity cannot mathematically be ensured,
but it's enough to append your company name to make it unlikely for anyone
else on earth to have the same name. How this kind of safety is delivered
when using the JSON syntax of ActivityStreams is unclear. Apparently it was
no longer an important design criterion.
