What's the right approach with RPM to have multiple versions of an 
application installed simultaneously?

Yes, but unix was developed from the beginning with the idea of having 
test and production instances installed simultaneously and different 
users having their own different local copies of libraries and 
executables.  It is RPM that doesn't understand those concepts.

And while you are at it, what's the right approach for using RPMs that 
are developed without coordinating their namespaces with all other 
potential sources of RPMs.
