That seems easy enough to solve.  Make the uid<->uid quota use uids in
the namespace of the side whose resources the operation uses.  That way,
if both sender and recipient live in a user namespace then you get quota
per user in the namespace, but you can't use a user namespace to cheat
and manufacture more users to get more quota when talking to something
*outside* that namespace.
