Description

Not so much of a bug as an API quirk: It is an error for namespaces to start with a / since Curator will always blindly append a / in front of the namespace. For example, see `curator-framework/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/imps/NamespaceImpl.java`. Any reason why namespaces starting with a / are not supported? This requires application code to know whether the namespace starts with a / or not.
