One obvious (if a little wishy-washy) solution is to not specify
whether the namespaces are the same.  That is, applications are
required to use a valid path, and have to be prepared for things like
unwritable directories, but implementations are not required to check
for those things.

This makes sense in light of the fact that there seems to be a general
lack of consensus about which is best.  Even though there is existing
practice for both ways of doing things, it may be premature to
standardize either behavior now.
