+Configuration naming
+
+HTML Purifier 4.0.0 features a new configuration naming system that
+allows arbitrary nesting of namespaces. While there are certain cases
+in which using two namespaces is obviously better (the canonical example
+is where we were using AutoFormatParam to contain directives for AutoFormat
+parameters), it is unclear whether or not a general migration to highly
+namespaced directives is a good idea or not.
+
+== Case studies ==
+
+=== Attr.* ===
+
+We have a dead duck HTML.Attr.Name.UseCDATA which migrated before we decided
+to think this out thoroughly.
+
+We currently have a large number of directives in the Attr.* namespace.
+These directives tweak the behavior of some HTML attributes. They have
+the properties:
+
+* While they apply to only one attribute at a time, the attribute can
+ span over multiple elements (not necessarily all attributes, either).
+ The information of which elements it impacts is either omitted or
+ informally stated (EnableID applies to all elements, DefaultImageAlt
+ applies to <img> tags, AllowedRev doesn't say but only applies to a tags).
+
+* There is a certain degree of clustering that could be applied, especially
+ to the ID directives. The clustering could be done with respect to
+ what element/attribute was used, i.e.
+
+ *.id -> EnableID, IDBlacklistRegexp, IDBlacklist, IDPrefixLocal, IDPrefix
+ img.src -> DefaultInvalidImage
+ img.alt -> DefaultImageAlt, DefaultInvalidImageAlt
+ bdo.dir -> DefaultTextDir
+ a.rel -> AllowedRel
+ a.rev -> AllowedRev
+ a.target -> AllowedFrameTargets
+ a.name -> Name.UseCDATA
+
+* The directives often reference generic attribute types that were specified
+ in the DTD/specification. However, some of the behavior specifically relies
+ on the fact that other use cases of the attribute are not, at current,
+ supported by HTML Purifier.
+
+ AllowedRel, AllowedRev -> heavily <a> specific; if <link> ends up being
+ allowed, we will also have to give users specificity there (we also
+ want to preserve generality) DTD %Linktypes, HTML5 distinguishes
+ between <link> and <a>/<area>
+ AllowedFrameTargets -> heavily <a> specific, but also used by <area>
+ and <form>. Transitional DTD %FrameTarget, not present in strict,
+ HTML5 calls them "browsing contexts"
+ Default*Image* -> as a default parameter, is almost entirely exlcusive
+ to <img>
+ EnableID -> global attribute
+ Name.UseCDATA -> heavily <a> specific, but has heavy other usage by
+ many things
+
+== AutoFormat.* ==
+
+These have the fairly normal pluggable architecture that lends itself to
+large amounts of namespaces (pluggability may be the key to figuring
+out when gratuitous namespacing is good.) Properties:
+
+* Boolean directives are fair game for being namespaced: for example,
+ RemoveEmpty.RemoveNbsp triggers RemoveEmpty.RemoveNbsp.Exceptions,
+ the latter of which only makes sense when RemoveEmpty.RemoveNbsp
+ is set to true. (The same applies to RemoveNbsp too)
+
+The AutoFormat string is a bit long, but is the only bit of repeated
+context.
+
+== Core.* ==
+
+Core is the potpourri of directives, mostly regarding some minor behavioral
+tweaks for HTML handling abilities.
