Yes, but do be aware that the C++ committee will in all probability include 
much of the C99 library in C++ in the future.  Bill Plauger has started the 
ball rolling with an initial proposal; see 
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1354.txt

He doesn't mention namespaces issues, and his proposal is in the early 
stages, but my bet is that the bulk of the C99 names will go in namespace 
std.
