The Guidelines don't give any clear guidelines either way in this case. 
  Since it is a topic that comes up regularly in all kinds of C++ 
discussion areas, I think the Guideline authors should cover it.  They 
might choose to say they recommend it, or that they recommend against 
it, or they might give circumstances or reasons for when it should or 
should not be used.  As they stand, the Guidelines say too little, and 
are too vague, and are thus pretty useless as a reference on the 
particular topic.

Like Juha, I believe the Guidelines should be changed to recommend 
avoiding file scope "using namespace std;" in most (but not necessarily 
all) circumstances.  But I'd rather they had a clear stance /for/ using 
it, than the current lack of clarity.
