I've added to my proposal a textual visualization on what the hierarchy would look like.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395761.msg5783153#msg5783153

EDIT:
Some examples to show what I'm talking about.

Code:
Asset Short name    Long name                   
BITT                BITT                         
KEOdAi3q            BITT.spanish.dubloon         
OIu3waqn            BITT.spanish.dubloon#1       
RPGGAME             RPGGAME
LPJhiowG            RPGGAME.ruby.cracked
jrOyehHG            RPGGAME.ruby.perfect
BANK                BANK
OIJFE7ig            BANK.I can type whatever I like


Client visualization
Code:
BITT
 +-spanish
         +-dubloon
         +-dubloon#1
RPGGAME
 +-ruby
      +-cracked
      +-perfect
BANK
 +-I can type whatever I like
     
Client visualization alternative - reflects the reality that there is only 2 levels
Code:
BITT
 +-spanish.dubloon
 +-spanish.dubloon#1

RPGGAME
 +-ruby.cracked
 +-ruby.perfect

BANK
 +-I can type whatever I like

How much of this proposal, and of other similar proposals, can be handled by the asset description field? (Not much space is needed to store a URL.).I love namespaces, etc., but I want to keep the protocol-level as simple and as stupid as possible. We could do this sort of thing is Counterwallet and BootleXCP themselves, for example.
