It would be nice for such a system call to also work for selected mount namespaces, so that you can be sure everything is consistent after the last process in the namespace exits. (I assume once the namespace no longer has any users, the mounts are automatically umounted?)

I think that's so, yes: that's how MNT_DETACH and MNT_EXPIRE are implemented (and, thus, umount -l).
