Description:
------------
The section "Fully qualified name" states,

"namespace\Foo is also a fully qualified name",

but does not indicate what "namespace" actually refers to.

A reader has no way to differentiate how that is different from a similar sentence in the "Qualified name" section, which states,

"Qualified Name: an identifier with a namespace separator, such as Foo\Bar"

That's a typo; namespace shouldn't be part of the literal. The sentence ought to read more like:

"This is an identifier with a namespace separator that begins with a namespace separator, such as \Foo\Bar. The namespace \Foo is also a fully qualified name."

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
