- I definitely wouldn't put the full list of scripts in the User-Agent
field. It would make more sense to put only the fact that GM is being used,
and ONLY if a relevant script is active (see next point). The actual list of
scripts could be somewhere else in the header (such as comment fields, as
Edwards suggests).
- I would only include scripts that are specific to the site in question.
There's really no point in telling a site operator that you are running
Linkifier or something like that. So the list isn't likely to get too long.
MB> Sending all the script info would create additional traffic (although
I'm not sure how much because I don't know what the details of the proposal)
and I wouldn't feel good about telling the website administrator of one web
site what scripts I'm using that affect other sites. I don't want to
advertise more than is absolutely necessary. I doubt most legitimate admins
want to track that info or want the additional traffic on their servers.
