With the recursive application of policy through the namespace hierarchy,
a measurement added to the parent namespace could be misleading since 
the file pathname makes sense in the current namespace but possibly not
for the parent namespace. This is the reason why I believe some new field
might be needed in the IMA template format to indicate or uniquely 
identify the namespace.
