There is, or at least used to be, a fair amount of bad old code that
does stuff like that.  One of the worst offenders was (not sure if it's
been fixed) w3.

I remember lots of bug reports where the problem was eventually revealed
to be some package getting confused by w3's mucking around with the
namespace.
