Your latest change uses E4X to enclose the metadata ... I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but it looks like interoperability with another browser. To that end, it might be worthwhile to note that most browsers (e.g. Opera) do not actually support E4X (as of the last time I looked a few months ago).

Anyway, thanks for the persistence on this script!

I'm using E4X to enclose the metadata so that my auto update checker can have access to the version number. I realize that browsers such Opera and IE don't support E4X, but my script is meant for greasemonkey, and as far as I know every browser that supports greasemonkey (Flock, Songbird, etc.) also supports E4X.

Ah, I see. The (function() { ... })() which was in the September 6 revision specifically enabled Opera (I think ... I haven't verified any of that), so I was under the impression you were trying to satisfy more than the standard Mozilla/Greasemonkey crowd.

I use E4X in a number of my scripts, too.
