v3: scope of definitions in included files

Just reading through the v3 spec, I noticed this:
Global definitions inside included files have scope in the including file.
Does this mean that such definitions are unavailable outside the file, or only available via a namespace?

Hah! I just changed that. Global definitions inside include files are available outside of the file. Global definitions all have global scope, not file scope. If the include file has a namespace then you access it through the namespace. Otherwise you can access it directly.
I also changed the namespace implementation to be more like what you originally suggested. A generalized namespace capability is overkill for Context Free. Instead, a namespace can be specified when you include a file.

OK thanks - this makes sense to me.
