I mean at most this: <namespace>::<class>, and not this: 
<namespace>::<namespace>::<class> and higher depths.

Just like the Q-classes stay Q-classes, the K-classes should also stay 
K-classes. Otherwise, we already use namespaces to a certain extent, like 
namespace DOM, or namespace KIO. Especially for DOM it makes sense as the 
classes and functions are imported from an outside standards body.
