Shared subtrees

the namespace terminology used here is bit off.
In Linux a namespace is the entire mount-tree. A namespace can be accessed only by the processes that created that namespace and all its children provided the child has not forked off its own namespace.

The namespace terminology is used in this article to mean identical subtrees within a given namespace.

Otherwise I feel the article has clearly and concisely touched upon this rather complicated idea.
