I suppose so. I have unfortunately little time for KDE4 development atm, so 
I'm not sure about the actual namespace to use though. Perhaps "KDE" is too 
general? I'm unable to come up with something better though - but we're 
fortunately not alone on this list :)
BTW: if you want to be a good developer, you also add a test cases that proves 
you catched all cases you wanted to catch - to be sure other platforms catch 
them too for one.
