Forget all of that. I just tried a few ways and looks like you can add
more namespaces by returning e.g. these fields (from SQL):

namespace=nsname
namespace/nsname/prefix=prefix/
namespace/nsname/location=maildir:/elsewhere
namespace/nsname/separator=/

Where nsname is some unique name for the namespace. If you want more
than one namespace, I think you can do it by adding another name to
"namespace" field, e.g.:

namespace=nsname nsname2 nsname3
