In most cases, exporting functions to window is not necessary. It is
needed if a link is to javascript:myLocalGreasyFunction(), as in the
Nicola's Bloglines script, but what I have done in my user scripts is
to have href="javascript:;" and then set onclick to the local
function. Here's an example I pulled out of a script of mine:

      var delLink = document.createElement('a');
      delLink.href = 'javascript:;';
      delLink.onclick = function() {
        if(confirm('Delete?')) {
          deleteClip(href);
        }
      }
