Upon further reflection, the namespace is clearly only required if
using AFR, therefore i retract the third of the three questions.

The first two, however, remain outstanding : are we or are we not
supposed to use Unify with the AFR translator, and if so, can the
cluster be made to be fault tolerant (i.e. downed node(s)) in this
context ?
