useful feature.
Instead of the "namespacePrefix.key" syntax, why don't you add an 
argument for the namespace?

public function get($namespace, $key, $defaultValue) {}
public function set($namespace, $key, $value) {}

And maybe even add a DB field for it even:

CREATE TABLE sys_registry (
   entry_namespace varchar(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
   entry_key varchar(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
   entry_value longtext,
   UNIQUE KEY entry_identifier (entry_namespace,entry_key)
);

That would make it easier to e.g. display all values of one extension.

And then I second Olivers remark "is it required to have everything from 
the registry table loaded?"

Maybe it's a good idea to load all values of a namespace as soon as it's 
accessed the first time?
