This is intentional. You can put your POCO classes in whatever namespace you'd like. The Entity Framework's by convention mechanism for detecting which properties on the entity match the properties of entities in your model does not use Namespace. What matters is that the type name (without namespace) matches the EntityType name in your model (edmx/csdl file).

One area to watch out for is if you have multiple types with the same name but in different namespaces. Because we don't account for namespace, we detect that we've found multiple types and we throw an exception.
