did this ever happen?

Some more details: The current storage layout per node has been fixed to 16 bytes. One byte (8 bits) is reserved for the namespace reference.

Here are a couple of hacky appraches in the spirit of brainstorming ;)

* reserve 7 bits for the namespace, and 1 bit for "uses extended namespace". In the top-bit-set objects only, add an extra byte. * Use the first 2 bytes of the element name :)
