By default same plugins have same "plugin namespaces" (that's how we 
called it).
By default the namespace consists of extension name (package key) and 
the plugin name in order to be unique. But you will be able to override 
that per plugin and per instance.
BTW: That is also possible in Extbase (see [1]).

As Robert already mentioned: This is mostly transparent for the user. 
That means: You won't have to specify the target namespace. You won't 
even have to specify the target *plugin* or *page*.
Instead, when you create a Link/URI to some action with the UriBuilder, 
FLOW3 will know what plugin the action belongs to and will be able to 
determine the namespace and the target page for this.
This is also possible in Extbase [2], but it will be more flexible in 
Phoenix.
