Mar 21, 2009 5:34pm Marti Script's Author	This is the home for known and grown bugs. I will report any that I know of here. This is more or less a sounding board since this script is a test only.

Apr 18, 2009 5:56pm Johan Sundström Scriptwright	@namespace http://localhost is a horrible example; something-unique-to-me would be a much better example. Localhost is possibly the least unique thing one could possibly put there, and is even worse than having no @namespace tag at all (which makes the installation url the namespace, if I remember right). Edit: http://userscripts.org/users/37004 (and perhaps annotation in the script that it is the scriptwright's unique url), makes, by comparison, a much better example.

You have failed to recognize that @namespace is non-semantic. This script was explicitly chosen to represent a sample script of the chosen namespace according to the guidelines that have been established. While I actually appreciate you putting a comment in here, it is of course in the wrong section. Your suggestion has already been acknowledged on several fronts however IETF and W3C is what I follow. Regarding omission of a namespace, GM currently assigns, on this system to a local http server... "localhost" for the namespace ... this in my humble opinion is incorrect behavior because I always assign schemes with the namespace to my scripts. This should allow full XML compatibility when desired. Please make a note of the words "test script" used multiple times. As far as defining this as errata, this is summarily rejected.

It has never been the installation URI. I just ran across an example of where @namespace was omitted and GM used only `userscripts.org` in the config.xml. So in fact the Greasemonkey extension, as of current testing in 0.8.1, is responsible for making it NON-unique by stripping off the scheme as well as the remainder of the URI. It isn't any worse than what the current Author and Contributors of Greasemonkey have put in place. Since you are one of the "most trusted" contributors to Aaron you should realize the feature. This script uses the anonymous namespace, which is definitely unique to me and the IETF, W3C and XML. If you don't like that then it is your problem not anyone elses.
