it would be great if there was no namespacing, and multiple developers could register the same phrase. alexa/echo (what's this thing called?) should learn based on your usage what service you want to respond to a certain phrase.

For example, "turn on the lights" should work with whatever smart home hub alexa can find on it's wifi network, not just with whatever smart home company registers the phrase first.

That would be nice. I have LIFX bulbs and don't want to say Alexa, ask LIFX to turn on the lights.
