I think that this is the best way to implement for current kernel limits. It looks like ESOCK server at Symbian. Application selects network profile want to use.
From my point of view the network spaces concept has other goals as running tasks at another networking space without modifying its source code. In our case the code yet to be developed, so that a decision may take requirement of network management in userspace.
