You wrote too cryptically. You referenced

which includes the quote

so I thought you were referring to saving Greasemonkey (or better yet 
all of Firefox) configuration/status through S3.

Now I see that you want S3 support in Greasemonkey just as a playground. 
Unless you can create some GM/S3 killer app that convinces a lot of 
people to subscribe to S3 nobody will run your GM/S3 scripts.

A better way to get S3 accepted would be to make an extension that 
synchs every computer they use with S3. That way you might have some 
audience for a GM/S3 script.
