Will D include namespaces?

A different way of doing the same thing - modules and imports.

So say I'm playing around with a preliminary (proposed) class library, and I declare a "net" module.  If modules work like namespaces, then I can declare a class "Socket" which would be accessible from other modules with "net.Socket" but within net by "Socket".  Also, Socket would not conflict with other declarations of other classes called Socket (unless we are "using" both modules).

Is this how it works, or something different?

That's essentially correct. But there is no "using" declaration in D. If there are no ambiguities, you can avoid net.Socket and just use Socket. If there are ambiguities (Socket is declared in more than one module), the compiler will issue an error, and you'll need to use net.Socket.
